What is recorded here

Underground in Edenakill, a collapsed passage once cut through a destroyed fort. Local memory still points to it as a hidden route beneath the ground, perhaps used in bad weather or at night. The earth has taken it back, but the shape of the story remains: people built a way downward when the sky closed.

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 collapsed Man-made underground passage in the destroyed 'fort' (LH003-010001-).
