Enclosure in Raskeagh — Report the wrong picture

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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Oval area (int. dims. 31.5m N-S, 23m E-W) enclosed by earth and stone bank (Wth 3.8m, H 0.7m internally, 1.3m externally), now much disturbed in the SW quadrant. No visible trace of fosse. Probable ancient entrance gap (Wth 1.2m) with large stone set against each side and an external ramp at SE. Entrance gap faced with large stones at both sides. Abutting the bank on the NW is an irregular raised area (max. dims. 7m by 9m) of unknown significance. Possible Man-made underground passage (LH004-017002-) in interior.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
