What is recorded here

Under the Cave Field in Dunmahon, a drystone passage still forces itself into human memory. Local tradition claims people built it rather than waited for stone to collapse into a hole. That choice turns the field into a place where human hands reached below the soil and shaped darkness into a route.

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 Local tradition of a drystone-built passage in the 'Cave Field'.
