What is recorded here

That is the largest chamber recorded in the region, a man-made cavern beneath a hill where human life may have flourished in darkness. It is no longer an open chamber, but the roof collapsed long ago and the earth swallowed the room. The passage ended in a cave, the cave ended in a collapse, and the collapse became the hill.

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/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated in NE quadrant of ringfort (LH008-013001-). Now visible only as a series of depressions. Also noted by OS (Memoranda 6921) and H. G. Tempest (CLAJ 1933, 96-7).
