Recorded monuments

• ME049-014 Mound
  Description

  Marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small feature and described in gothic lettering as a ‘Mound’. It was described as a circular mound (diam. 24m E-W, H 1.6m) truncated by ditch at S and with the holy well (ME049-014001-) at the centre (Moore 1987, 34), but the well has been conserved since 1985, and the mound is no longer prominent. 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: 11 September, 2015

• ME049-014001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on a rise of a gentle S-facing slope at the centre of the mound (ME049-014----). The well is known as St Bride’s Well and it was revered in the 19th century when it was described as having a diameter of 12 feet (c. 3.75m) (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 361). It was a small natural spring (diam. c. 1m) at the base of the stump of an ash tree in 1969 (SMR file) but is has been conserved in 2000 and is now a stone-lined well (diam. 0.85m; max. D 1.75m) with water approached by a path and steps from the N while the mound is less prominent. The well is surrounded by a paved path (Wth c. 1.5m) and within an enclosure (diam c. 5m) defined by a hedge and a picket fence, and there are two young trees outside the enclosure, one with rags.

• ME049-018 Field system
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slope. Earthworks of relict field banks and drains covering an area of about 12 acres (c. 5 ha) are visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 605, 606) and some later series. The banks (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.3m) and ditches (Wth c. 1-2m; D c. 0.2m) create some irregular fields (dims c. 60m x c. 30m to c. 100m x c. 70m) which are covered in cultivation ridges confined to individual fields. There are some wide linear spaces (Wth c. 5-10m) between fields that might be roadways. The defining features are best preserved at the SW angle of the area and some modern houses impinge on it. Archaeological testing (04E0764) by S. Linnane at the S edge of the area produced no related material (excavations.ie 2004:1193). 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: 27 August 2019 Amended: 9 June 2021

• ME049-040 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slope and on what might once have been demesne land of Bride’s Stream House c. 200m to the SSW. A circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 25m) defined by a traces of a fosse NW-SE or possibly a slight bank SE-SW is visible on Google Earth (Mar. 2020, Mar. 2022). It could have an outer bank and it is bisected by a WNW-ESE relict field drain. This emerges from a NNE-SSW mapped field bank at W that could truncate the monument at this side. Relict cultivation ridges in the surrounding field do not impinge on the enclosure. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére, and it is also faintly visible on Digital Globe (c. 2013), Apple Maps and OSI images (1995).
