Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons and Eadweards both wanted the boy, but neither understood the half-light where he lived. They built a chamber of pressure and called it love, waiting for him to choose one of their certainties. He chose the gap between their certainties, where distinction collapses and breath returns. The chamber did not break him; it revealed that their love was a cage built from fear.
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.
