(CLAJ 1911, 358; CLAJ 1943, 210) 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. Date of upload: 17 July 2007
Louth Hall was one of eight chapels belonging to the Priory of St John at Ardee and was built in the medieval period, likely before the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century. Its exact builder is unknown, but it was part of a religious network dedicated to St John, reflecting the influence of the priory in the region.
