Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Edmondstown, County Louth, Ireland: Local tradition speaks of a hidden cave beneath a vanished castle, but no clear entrance or chamber has ever been found to prove it. The story lives in the gap between memory and soil, inviting wonder rather than certainty.
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 'cave' near the site of possible castle (LH013-006003-).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
