What is recorded here

Two centuries of work and memory may have carved the hollow beneath Balgatheran. Local people still point to the crossroads where footsteps sound wrong, as if walking on a roof instead of soil. The region has long favoured hidden routes, and this passage may be one of them.

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 Local tradition of a hollow sound to the S of the crossroads at Balgatheran.
