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

What is recorded here

Donaghmore holds a man-made underground passage where a displaced lintel in the 1930s exposed the hidden work before people reclosed it immediately. The sudden opening may have startled whoever stood above it, forcing a quick choice between curiosity and caution. They chose caution, depriving later visitors even the chance to measure the dark.

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 Souterrain lintel displaced in 1930s and reclosed immediately.
