Man-made underground passage in Carrickmullan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Carrickmullan in County Louth holds a man-made underground passage within an enclosure, a deliberate cut into the earth rather than a natural cave. People built it to hide, store or travel beyond the reach of watching eyes. The darkness still waits inside, patient and unchanged since hands first shaped the rock.

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' in enclosure (LH006-082001-).
