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.
