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 Situated at the NW foot of Red Mt. Circular, round-topped mound (diam. 13m, H 1.5-2m) enclosed by a fosse, of which slight traces only remain at N. On top of the mound is a slight depression, owing to modern disturbance, in which lies a slab (L 0.7m, Wth 0.5m). Under this slab was found a large portion of an urn and fragments of cremated bone (see LH021-041002-). These are now in the National Museum (NMI reg. nos 1967: 198-9). Site known locally as 'Cooney's Moat'. (JRSAI 1970, 152)
