• ME025-008 Church
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape, at the crest of a slight slope down to the NW-SE River Blackwater, which is c. 100m to the NE. A church at Listcartan is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 256). In the Papal Registers (vol. 11, 15) there is a reference to the chapel of Listarch in 1305 (Leslie 1908, 105). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel as reasonably well repaired (Erlington 1847-64 1, lxxx). According to Dopping’s Visiation (1682-5) this parish church was dedicated to St. Nicholas, and the walls of the church were standing but it was not enclosed (Ellison 1972, 10 11). This is an undivided nave and chancel church (ext. dims 17.6m E-W; 7.7m N-S) which dates largely to the 15th century but was repaired in the 18th century when large, round-headed windows (Wth 1.1m) - three in the S wall, and two in the N wall - were inserted. The interior is overgrown, but two doorways are towards the W end of the nave, that on the N is robbed while that on the S is blocked. A lintelled and chamfered doorway (Wth 0.64m; H 1.6m) in the N wall leads by a stairs housed in an external projection (Wth 0.7m; L 7.6) to a rood-loft. The double-light cusped ogee-headed decorated windows in the E and W walls are original, that on the W wall with the heads of a king, queen and bishop decorating the hood. The double belfry on the W gable is perhaps added. One headstone just S of the church and dating from the 1760s is the only indication of a graveyard. Liscartan tower house (ME025-009001-) and fortified house (ME025-009002-) are c. 60 and c. 80m to the SE. 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: 15 December, 2014

• ME025-009001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape, at the crest of a slight slope down to the NW-SE River Blackwater, which is c. 100m to the N. Liscartan was owned by Sir Robert Talbot in 1633 (Wilde 1850, 131-2), but according to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Sir Robert Talbott of Carrtown and Adam Missett of Belewstown owned 292 acres there in 1640, and the property included ‘two Castles, a Church, a Mill, and a weare’ (Simington 1940, 231). The Talbots seem to have retained the property into the 1690s but by 1703 what was still known as Talbotts Castle had passed from the estate of the attainted Sir William Talbott to Henry Cadogan (pers. Com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich 04/02/2012). The later stone house (ME025-009002-), which is attached to the SE, continued to be occupied into the middle of the 19th century when it was owned by a Mr. T. Gerrard, the proprietor of a nearby flourmill (Lewis 1837, 2, 281). The parish church of Liscartan (ME025-008----) is c. 60m to the NW. The tower house is a rectangular structure with a barrel vault (int. dims 12m NE-SW; 4.5m NW-SE) that is divided by an inserted wall (T 0.4m) at the ground floor. There is a rectangular tower attached to every angle, except the S. The W tower has an inserted entrance from the outside with a mezzanine above, and a passage leads to the main ground floor chamber. The N tower (int. dims 3.1m NW-SE; 2.3m NE-SW) is vaulted on the ground floor and projects NW from the N end of the NW wall. It has evidence of a garderobe chute in the NE wall and there is a newel stairs at its S angle, which leads down from the floor above but there is no access to the main chamber on the ground floor. The E tower projects SE from the N end of the SE wall and has a wide pointed doorway (Wth 1.5m) that leads from an enclosed courtyard (dims 12.5m NW-SE; 6.8m NE-SW) between the tower house and the stone house (ME025-009002-) which is just to the SE. This tower also allows access by an external stairs to the first floor over the vault to a single chamber (int. dims 11.65m NE-SW; 5.4m NE-SW) that is featureless apart from a single light window on every wall except the SE, but some of the windows are ogee-headed. The N chamber is vaulted with traces of wicker-centring. The second floor is supported on corbels in the long walls and is accessed by a newel stairs in the E tower, which also has a garderobe chamber. At the second floor the main chamber has a single window on each wall but the SW wall has a double-light ogee-headed window. The newel stairs continue in the E and N towers to the parapet level (destroyed) of the main structure. Turrets rise over the three corner towers, that at the E angle with a garderobe while the N has pigeon-holes.

• ME025-009002 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape, at the crest of a slight slope down to the NW-SE River Blackwater, which is c. 100m to the N. The gatehouse (ME025-010----) is c. 70m to the SE. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Sir Robert Talbott of Carrtown and Adam Missett of Belewstown owned 292 acres there in 1640, and the property included ‘two Castles, a Church, a Mill, and a weare’ (Simington 1940, 231). The Talbots seem to have retained the property into the 1690s but by 1703 what was still known as Talbotts Castle had passed from the estate of the attainted Sir William Talbott to Henry Cadogan (pers. Com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich 04/02/2012). This house continued to be occupied into the middle of the 19th century when it was owned by a Mr. T. Gerrard, the proprietor of a nearby flourmill (Lewis 1837, 2, 281). The house is just SE of the tower house (ME025-009001-), enclosing a rectangular court or bawn (dims 12.5m NW-SE; 6.8m NE-SW) between them. The ground floor is a rectangular chamber (int. dims 10.95m NE-SW: 5.1m NW-SE) with three smaller chambers (int. dims 4-5m NW-SE; 3-3.5m NE-SW) off it to the SE, two of which had brick vaults, and brick was used to repair some window surrounds and doorways. There is no other vaulting in the building. There is a wide doorway (Wth 1.25m) from the court on the NW wall but another doorway towards the S end of the SE wall leads through a chamber that has a fireplace to the outside. A mural stairs from this chamber leads directly to the chamber above and this was probably a kitchen and servants’ quarters. There is also a newel stairs (destroyed) in the W tower. At the first floor the main chamber is featureless apart from one window on the NW wall, but there are fireplaces in the N tower and the chamber in the S angle, which might also be provided with a garderobe. The central chamber on the SE wall is a landing allowing access between the chambers at the E and S angles and also with the main chamber. The chamber in the E angle could have had a corner fireplace and a newel stairs rising to the parapet over the main chamber, and a light on the SW wall is ogee-headed. Only the projecting N and W towers and the corner rooms at the E and S angles rise to a second floor, and most of these isolated rooms have small lights on each wall, as far as can be seen but the walls of the main structure are either destroyed or obscured with ivy.

  Description

  Situated on a level landscape, at the crest of a slight slope down to the NW-SE River Blackwater, which is c. 100m to the N. The house (ME025-009002-) is c. 70m to the NW. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 6.7m NW-SE; 4.7m NE-SW) with a round-arched entrance (Wth 2.8m) on the SW side. The entrance passage has a barrel-vault and a doorway in the SE pier leads to a newel stairs. The chamber above has single lights on the NW and SW sides.

• ME025-012 Mound
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape, and at the crest of a gentle slope down to a N-S section of the River Blackwater which is c. 150m distant and c. 5m lower. This was once on the demesne of Liscartan House (ME025-009002-) c. 550m to the NNW and is in full view of Rathaldron House (ME025-11----) c. 270m to the NNE, on the other side of the river. It is depicted as a small copse on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a clump of trees on the 1908 edition. This is a grass-covered circular mound of earth and stones (diam. 23m; H 2.5m) that supports two trees. There are quarry holes on the NW side.
