  Description

  The following 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. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007 Discovered and backfilled almost immediately without being explored in 1964 (OPW file).

• ME027-007 Church
  Description

  Situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope with the W-E River Nanny c. 430m to the N. In a cartulary dated 1381 of St. Michael’s, which was the Augustinian priory of Llanthony at Duleek (ME027-038011-), it is recorded that John Bellewyston had a chapel that had been built by his ancestors (Brooks 1953, 144). Sir Walter Bedlowe of Bedlowestown leased land for 60 shillings from the priory in 1540 (White 1943, 314). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Sir Christopher Bellew, an Irish papist, had 1184 acres at Bellewstowne where there was a castle, outhouses and a tuck mill (Simington 1940, 18). Within Duleek parish alone he also owned 60 acres at Redmountain, 35 acres at Hilltown Little, 80 acres at Fascagh (part of Hilltown Little), 80 at Ballipatch (now Thomastown), and 40 at Rahill (ibid. 15-23). The church was an estate church and is not recorded in the visitations of Ussher (1622) (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxi-lxviii) or Dopping (1682-5) (Ellision 1971, 33-7) amongst the churches of Duleek deanery. The church is an undivided nave and chancel structure (ext. dims 14.35m E-W; 6m N-S), probably of late 13th century or early 14th century date (O'Neill 2002, 17). Tracery has been removed from the E and W windows. There were doorways in old red sandstone towards the W end of the N and S walls, but only that on the S remains. There is a single belcote over the W gable, and rectangular windows have been inserted into the N and S walls. 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: 22 December, 2014

• ME027-023 Cross - Wayside cross (present location)
  Description

  from King (1984, 106-7) This cross was originally a wayside monument on the Downstown road after which it served as a gable cross on the church in Duleek. In 1969 it was set up on the left-had side of the road as one enters the village of Duleek from Drogheda. It was damaged in 1981 and re-erected in 1982 by the Duleek Historical Society about 0.5kmn nearer Drogheda on the same side of the road. The material is fossiliferous limestone. Dims of base 0.21m x 0.13m; H 1.45m; Wth 0.74m. This is a Latin cross, rectangular in section, with splayed ends on the arms and upper shaft. It is decorated on the north and south faces and the edges of the shaft are chamfered. The base is modern. The W and E sides have no decoration. The N has the following inscription in false relief using Gothic lettering with Roman Capitals: HIS / PRAY FOR THE SOULES OF THO / MASSINA BERFORD FIRST EIFE / TO BERT / HELMEME / MOUR OF / DOWAN / STOWENE / WHO DIE / D THE 17 / OF DEC / EMBER 1635. The S side has an all-over pattern of shallow grooved lines. This cross is dated by its inscription to 1635. Cogan (1862-70, 2, 232) See the attached image. Date of upload: 7 August, 2014

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007 Small circular mound (diam. 7m, H 1m) sited on summit of E-W ridge.

• ME027-035 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  On inspection in 1985 it was described as a slightly domed circular area defined by fosse with external earthen bank (diam. 5m). (Moore 1987, 78). The monument was excavated in 2007 (License no. 07E0249) in advance of quarrying. The report summarises the results as follows: '‘The sod and topsoil was removed by hand and carefully examined to maximise finds retrieval. During the removal of the sod and topsoil a baulk or section was developed across the centre of the site, thin section clearly showed that at some point in time the surface expression of the earthworks associated with this barrow had been subject to disturbance and that only a small section of bank remained in the form of an earthen bank approximately 0.30m in height, located to the west of the barrow. The barrow itself takes the form of an oval shaped earth-cut ditch measuring on average between 1.00m and 0.90m wide and approximately 0.40m in depth with a diameter of 4.20m E – W and 3.10m N – S. The ditch was continuous with no breaks or openings. The ditch contained three fills or deposits a loose, light brown deposit with the general appearance of topsoil overlaying a lower charcoal-rich deposit (c4), overlaying a light grey silt. During the excavation of the ditch no traces of cremated bone were identified, however the general appearance of (c4) suggested that this deposit was formed by the placing of burnt material within the ditch on a number of occasions and not one single event. In total two fragments of flint blades were retrieved from (c4) and four pieces of flint debitage. During the excavation and assessment of the site no other archaeological features and deposits were recorded. However it must be noted that the area surrounding the barrow has been subject to high levels of ground disturbance associated with the development of the quarry.’ (Russell 2007) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 13 August 2015

  Description

  First identified by M. Doutré from New Zealand on Google Earth (2013), it is also visible on Bing images (2013) and faintly on the OSI series (1995). It is situated on a rise in a slight E-W valley with a small canalised stream c. 85m to the S. The ridge of Bellewstown, which is c. 100m higher, rises over the site c. 800m to the S. This is a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 32m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE) defined by a fosse feature that is most distinct (Wth c. 2-3m) at NW and NE where it becomes rather straight and meets at a right angle at N. There is no visible entrance feature, but there is a second outer fosse forming an arc outside the original at S (C c. 20m E-W); this represents a re-cutting of the fosse on a slightly different course. There are two pits (diam. c. 3m) in the interior. The ring-ditch (ME027-085----) is on the low E-W ridge c. 95m to the NNE and rath (ME027-101----) is also on relatively high ground c. 180m to the E.
