What is recorded here

Underground in Castlering, County Louth, a man-made passage cuts through the earth where local tradition still calls it a cave. People may have dug it to hide, store or escape, giving the soil itself a room for human fear and cleverness.

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 'cave' in this townland. (CLAJ 1904, 39)
