What is recorded here

Graveyard in Philipstown (ardee By., Mosstown Par.) is a low rectangular mound inside a circular enclosure, locally called the relic field or Teampull Ciomhain. It probably marks the remains of a church and graveyard in County Louth, Ireland. The shape suggests a place where worship, burial and memory were kept together long before modern boundaries were drawn.

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.
