What is recorded here
Under the Christianstown ringfort, a man-made passage still hides. Built before memory, it may have stored grain, hidden people or simply bent the world downward. The floor has closed, but the shape remains. Forgetting is only the first layer of soil.
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.
