What is recorded here

Mortons has dropped his pen and is watching the road. The fort is not a display cabinet. It is a living edge where human and fairy life still touch. That is why the chamber remembers, not decorates.

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.
