What is recorded here

Situated on a high wide E-W ridge and consisting of a sub-circular flat-topped mound (H 5.5m, diam. at base 24-28m, at top c. 15m) with slight traces of a fosse (max. Wth at NW 8.3m, D 0.5m) hardly discernible except at W. From NW to SW the side of the mound has been scarped and disturbed through use as a cattle track which gives access to the summit. Dromin church (LH018-014001-) is situated just to the ESE. The above 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: 17 July 2007
