What is recorded here

Cairn stands just off the summit of a high ridge in the Moat Field, County Louth, marking a forgotten boundary or burial with rough circular stones. A single upright slab leans in the western quadrant, uncertain in purpose but deliberate in placement. The field name hints at water or defense, yet the stones remain stubbornly silent, waiting for someone to remember why they were stacked.

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 just off the summit of high E-W ridge, in field known as the 'Moat Field'. Roughly circular cairn of stones (16m E-W, 14m N-S; H 0.8m). In W quadrant of site is an upright slab (H 0.7m, Wth 0.4m, T 0.1m) of uncertain significance.
