• ME036-039 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a local prominence in a gently undulating landscape. It is indicated as a circular feature on the 1836 and 1912 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular and domed (H 1m) grass-covered area (diam. 32.5m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1-1.4m), with an outer fosse (at S: Wth of top 3m; int. D 1.6m; ext. D 0.3m) SE-WNW that morphs into a berm (Wth 10m) WNW-N. The scarp is covered in bushes and trees, but an original entrance is not identified. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 5 July 2019

• ME036-062 Bridge
  Description

  A bridge crossing a SW-NE section of the Knightsbrook River is depicted on the Down Survey (16556-8) maps of Moyfenrath barony and Laracor parish, for which see this web-page accessed on 09/11/2017: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Moyfenrath&c=Meath&p=Lauracorr In the seventeenth century the stream was known as the Iffernock Brooke (Simington 1940, 176) and the bridge carried the main road (R 158) from Trim to Kilcock, as it did until c. 2010 when a new bridge and road were built just to the NE. The old bridge is a single arch structure built in the nineteenth century, probably when the stream was canalised, but the causeway approaching from the SW is known locally to have had four arches to relieve flooding, only two of which can now be seen because of spoil. A survey of the bridge (Wth 6.15m) by R. Bangerter connected with the roadworks concluded that its segmental arches are of a post-1775 form (excavations.ie 2004:1281) (O’Neill 2007).

• ME036-078 House - 17th century
  Description

  Located on a level landscape with a small SW-NE stream c. 70m to the NW. Traditionally, this is the house occupied by Esther Johnson, known as 'Stella' and the life-long friend of Jonathan Swift, when she first came to Ireland in 1701 and wanted to live close to Swift while he was rector of Laracor church (ME036-044----), c. 1.2km to the S. After her death in 1728 the house was occupied by two families and continued to be occupied until c. 1960 when a local committee purchased it. Unfortunately, only the base of the walls could be preserved and built up. It is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 10.1m NW-SE; 6.1m NW-SW; int. dims 9.15m NW-SE; 4.15m NE-SW) with conserved and reconstructed walls (Wth 0.5m; H 1.1m). There is a doorway (Wth 0.9m) in the centre of the NE wall and a recess (Wth 1.35m; D 0.2m) on the SW wall opposite, which might be a fireplace.
