What is recorded here

South of Cartanstown Lough, a forgotten graveyard sleeps beneath the grass. Local tradition still points to the burials, keeping the dead visible long after stones vanished. The land remembers what people stopped naming.

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.
