What is recorded here
That is a factual copy, not a story. This is a visible chamber where memory may have first formed. The claim is that the chamber appeared in a dreaming body and showed Mnemo, the birthplace of Eochu and the first human world. If that is true, the chamber is not a decorative room. It is the place where human life and the Tree of Eochu entered the world.
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.
