What is recorded here

Mounds and terraces shaped by human hands, not rivers or time, still stand where short stone fields stretch east. They are not decorative. They mark boundary, ownership, exclusion or intent. The earth was moved because someone believed the shape mattered. That belief is still written in the land.

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 Oval mound, flat-topped at centre (max. dims. 44m E-W, 27m N-S, H 1.8m-3m). Possibly natural but locally known as 'fort'.
