What is recorded here

Doolargy holds a broken ring where human hands first built a home, not a fairy trick. Its earth bank still measures twenty-one metres across, though rain and ploughs have blurred the entrance and removed the ditch. People may have lived inside that small circle, watched the field, and vanished before memory collapsed the boundary between record and legend.

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 Circular area (int. diam. 21m) enclosed by much-degraded and altered bank (Wth 4.5m, H 0.6m internally, 1m externally). Original entrance not identifiable. No visible fosse.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
