What is recorded here

One barrow in the Louth landscape still carries that old rumor of bones appearing when the mound was moved. Whether it marked a king, a trader or a forgotten child, the earth shaped itself around someone important enough to remember. The stones and soil kept that secret long after the names vanished.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Local tradition of bones being found during the removal of a mound (see also LH019-004002-). (CLAJ 1908, 31)
