    1. Re: Moat, Killeagh, County Meath
    2. Rob enquires: === I found this Townland in Griffith's Valuation but not on today's maps. Has the name changed? Incorporated in another Townland? Or is it there and I just have not located it? === The last question is the one [gr]. The townland occurs at a location which unfortunately spreads across the common meeting-point of 4 Discovery maps (although the name is mentioned on only 2 of them). The two maps that mention Moat are Disc. map 41, which shows Moat in the very upper right corner, and map 42 which shows Moat in the upper left corner. On map 34, Moat is unnamed, but a piece of it is in the lower right corner, just to the east of the townland of Ballynacree and across the minor road shown there. Map 35 has an even smaller piece of Moat townland....just a few nondescript acres (although there may be a house or two on another minor road which connects Moat with Tully townland, within Moat itself). St. Bridgid's RC church and graveyard is in the townland (as of 1987). The Disc. map 41 also shows a current (as of 1995) church at/near the site of a C of I church which was built in 1800 and destroyed before 1964. There is still a large graveyard there (Archaeological Inventory of County Meath, Office of Public Works, 1987). I don't know if this "current" church is RC or C of I.
