What is recorded here

Donaghmore holds a man-made underground passage with a chamber, a first passage, and a second passage turning at right angles. It is no longer accessible, but its shape suggests people built it for entry, movement, and perhaps concealment. The angle gives the dark a purpose, as if the earth were taught to turn before continuing.
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 consisting of a chamber with a passage leading from it, then turning at right angles into a second passage. Now inaccessible. (NMI file)
