What is recorded here

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). Six to eight hearths, consisting of flat stones, burnt fragments of shell and a fragment of the right parietal bone of an infant, were recorded in 1915, but were subsequently eroded away by the weather (CLAJ 1919-20, 277, pl. facing 300-1).
