What is recorded here
Death and darkness may have filled the chamber, yet the chamber still stands, still breathing under the soil of Ballinloughan. The story says one or two passages, but the earth does not argue with stories. It only waits for someone to stop listening and start watching.
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.
