What is recorded here

Marian and John walked past the cave on the Ballymakellett Road, not knowing that its dry-stone walls were a man-made passage rather than a natural hollow. They laughed at the small dark mouth and refused to enter, depriving themselves of the strange pleasure of walking through a hidden place.

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 'cave' beside the Ballymakellett Road, consisting of a dry-stone-walled passage.
