What is recorded here

Seventeen hut sites crowd the Lissachiggel ringfort, suggesting a busy residential settlement rather than a lonely outpost. This is one of them, a small human shelter buried beneath centuries of grass and memory. The fort likely hosted families, herds and seasonal work, though the exact lives remain lost.

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: 16 November 2011 One of 17 hut sites at 'Lissachiggel' ringfort (see LH004-050001-).
