What is recorded here

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). A ridge or bank extended through the centre of the site. The graves consisted of rectangular trenches c. 1.8m long and were filled with dark earth. The burials were orientated E-W. The above description is based on information received from the then owner of the land at the time of the destruction of the enclosure. The site is referred to as 'Lis na Kelic' in the OS Letters (CLAJ 1910, 291), which is possibly a corruption of 'Liss na Relig'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LH014-014002
