Enclosure in Kilpatrick — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilpatrick enclosure in County Louth is marked as a fort on the 1835 Ordnance Survey sheet, yet no visible surface trace remains. It may have been a boundary marker, a seasonal shelter or a forgotten dwelling, but the earth has taken back its shape. What is left is a name dropped into green fields, waiting for someone to walk past and wonder what it hid.

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 Marked as 'fort' on 1835 ed. of OS six-inch sheet. No visible surface trace.
