What is recorded here

Underground passage in the ringfort at Corderry, built of dry stone with two narrow approaches and one chamber. It is the kind of place where people went down when storms came or when they wanted to hide what they owned. The stone excludes water only if every joint fits, which means somebody learned that the hard way and then repeated it until it worked.
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 Drystone-built Man-made underground passage consisting of two passages and a chamber situated within a ringfort (LH011-064001-). (IFC Schools MSS 665, 85-6)
