What is recorded here

Under Lurgangreen in Haggardstown, a man-made passage cuts through earth and stone. Local tradition calls it a cave, yet human hands shaped its darkness. People may have walked there to hide, worship or simply escape the weather. The tunnel still holds that hidden purpose, waiting for footsteps to remember it.

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' at Lurgangreen.
