• ME009-042001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  A castle at Drumsawry Glebe (63) in Oldcastle parish is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony and parish maps (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/) but as it had once been owned by the abbey of Fore (WM004-035010-) it was not recorded in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1940, 268-70). It is depicted as a ruin on Taylor and Skinner's map (1778, 57) and on MS map 1399 (11) in NLI, made in 1778. It is depicted as a roofless structure on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map but is not named. This is a cairn of stones with parts of the N and S walls standing from a structure (ext. dims 9.4m plus E-W; 6m plus N-S). The church (ME009-042002-) is 10m to the S. (O’Connell 1965, 174-5) Archaeological testing (05E1393) by C. Duffy on a plot (dims c. 100m E-W c. 30m N-S) c. 200m to the SSW produced no related material (excavations.ie 2005:1174; 2006:1522).

• ME009-042002 Church
  Description

  Located on the N-facing slope of a SE-NW spur at the N foothills of the E-W Slieve na Calliagh ridge. There are references to a church here in the Papal Taxation of 1303 when it was a possession of the Benedictine abbey of Fore, and at the Suppression in 1540 Fore held 100 acres as well as the tithes and dues of Drumsawre worth almost 105 shillings (White 1943, 272). In Dropping's Visitation Book (1682-5) Drumfannery chapel is described as ruined (Ellison 1975, 10). Tradition maintains it was the rectangular building (ext. dims 12.7m E-W; 7.15m N-S) with walls almost complete (H c. 2-4m) located c. 10m S of the castle (ME009-042001-). This has a plain doorway (Wth 1.03m) towards the W end of the N wall (T 0.9m), and there are corbels internally in the W wall and beam-holes in the E wall. At a first floor level there is evidence of a blocked embrasure in the E wall and another in the S wall. If it was a church it was re-used as a dwelling. There is a local tradition that it was re-dedicated by the Plunkett’s of Loughcrew in the early 17th century and, while there is no formal burial ground associated with it, that 18th century headstones were removed from the site and built into field walls in Ballinvally and Boolies townlands (O'Connell 1965, 174-5). Two headstones dated 1740 and 1753 are built into nearby walls. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME009-042003 Graveyard
  Description

  Located on the N-facing slope of a SE-NW spur at the N foothills of the E-W Slieve na Calliagh ridge. The church (ME009-042002-) was in a graveyard, which was never enclosed or marked on a map and is no longer evident, but two headstones from it, dated 1740 and 1753, were built into a nearby field wall. Archaeological testing (05E1393) by C. Duffy on a plot (dims c. 100m E-W c. 30m N-S) c. 200m to the SSW produced no related material (excavations.ie 2005:1174; 2006:1522).

• ME009-057 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a hillock in the N foothills of the Slieve na Calliagh ridge. This is a circular, domed (H 1-2m) and grass-covered area (diam. 47.5m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 2.8m) that can be distinguished from its fosse but is frequently reduced to a scarp (at NW: H 3.5m) NW-E-SE. This is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4m; Wth of base 2-3m; ext. D 1.4-1.7m) from an outer earthen bank (Wth of base 6-9m; ext. H 1.2m at NW to 2.4m at SE). There is a stone-lined entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.55m) bank and a stone-lined entrance (Wth of base 3.2) through the outer bank at SE, with a causeway (Wth of top 3.6m; H 0.65m) across the fosse (max. ext. diam. 80m).
