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?

There is a Townland of Moat but it is located south of Trim and not in
Killeagh civil parish.

Thanks

Moat is southwest of Glenboy.

Rob enquires:

=== I found this Townland in Griffith's Valuation but not on today's

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.

Moate is mostly in Kilcleagh parish, in southern county Westmeath.
