What is recorded here
Crocadaraher is a man-made underground passage in Dunmahon, County Louth, Ireland. Local tradition remembers it as a cave within a natural hillock. The story blunts the edge of certainty, leaving behind a hollow place where imagination can move freely.
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.
