• MO006-022001 Church
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a small hill. Traditionally regarded as a seventh-century foundation associated with St. Dympna or Damhnad, of whom little is known except that in one of her genealogies she is reputed to be a granddaughter of Míleac, St Patrick’s master during his enslavement. She was commemorated on 13 June at Tydavnet and has sometimes been confused with St Dimpna, who is celebrated at Gheel in Belgium on 15 May (Ó Riain 2011, 256-7). The metal shrine of a crozier known as bachall Damhnaid – Damhnad’s staff – was preserved locally until 1835, and it now in Royal Irish Academy collection at the National Museum of Ireland (O’Daly 1959). This is the site of the medieval parish church of Tedavnet, of which Damhnad was the patroness. It is listed as Thechdamnad - Dympna’s house – in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Shirley 1879, 289). The names of some of the clergy are known from 1422, and in 1622 the church was described as ‘ruinous’ (Leslie 1929, 254-7). By order of Council in 1754 the parochial centre was moved to Mullaghmore West where St Davnet’s Church of Ireland church is still functioning, while the church site in Mullanrackan continued as a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls. (McKenna 1920, 1, 313-46) A small portion of a wall (L 2.15m; T 0.45m; max. H 1.95m) is said to belong to the medieval church but it is more likely to have been erected to display the funerary monument of Richard Robinson dated 1715. The graveslab (dims 2.04m x 1m; T 0.1-0.15m) of John Foster dated 1677 with prominent symbols of mortality (McCormick 1983) is c. 4m to the N of this wall and a cup-marked stone that is set up as a headstone (dims 0.8m x 0.1m; max. H 0.7m) with three cup-marks on its E face is c. 5m to the W. Archaeological testing (06E0640) immediately to the south-east of the graveyard uncovered human bone fragments which were redeposited from the graveyard, and two millstones (Duffy, C. 2009, 446; Duffy, C. 2010, 393). A portion of the graveyard wall (L c. 9m) at SE collapsed in 2011 but this was repaired by Monaghan County Council. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 7 November 2016.

• MO006-022002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a small hill. The site of the medieval parish church of Tydavnet is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls. Most of the headstones date from c. 1720 to c. 1820, and the results of a survey by Irish Graveyard Surveys is displayed in the graveyard. There is a cup-marked stone (MO006-022003-) in the graveyard, and the graveslab of John Foster (MO006-022004-) dated 1677 and the memorial of Richard Robinson (MO006-022005-) dated 1715 are noteworthy. A new triangular graveyard is attached to the W. Archaeological testing (06E0640) immediately to the south-east of the old graveyard uncovered human bone fragments which were re-deposited from the graveyard, and two millstones (Duffy 2009, 446; Duffy 2010, 393). A portion of the graveyard wall (L c. 9m) at SE collapsed in 2011 but this was repaired by Monaghan County Council. Archaeological monitoring (11E0224) of the work recorded the depth of graveyard soil (c. 2.5m) over natural and recovered fragments of rotary querns, possible grave-markers, coffin nails and dressed stones, including a stone with a chamfered edge from the medieval church. The fragmentary remains of 56 adults, four children and four infants were also recovered. See excavations.ie 2011:505 accessed on 17/01/2020.

• MO006-022003 Cupmarked stone
  Description

  Situated in Tedavnet graveyard (MO006-022002-) c. 5m W of the wall displaying the memorial of Richard Robinson (MO006-022005-), but this is not likely to be its original location. A stone which is set up like a headstone (dims of base 0.83m x 7-8cm H 0.7m) has three cup-marks (diam. 11-15cm; D 2-4m), two of which are damaged at the edges of the stone.
