What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the flat place where the chamber should stand. She records the absence, not the story of the absent chamber.
Sub-circular area (int. dims. 27m N-S, 22.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (Wth 3.5m, H 0.5m internally, 1.1m externally) with internal boulder facing at the NE quadrant. Widening of bank at W to form a platform with remains of stone structure, possibly a lime kiln (LH004-022001-). Possible ancient entrance gap (Wth 1.4m) at NW, now obscured by modern field walls. From the N side of this gap a curvilinear earth and stone bank extends S to the W of the perimeter bank. The visible signature of the monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP).
The above 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.
