What is recorded here

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 Situated within graveyard (LH003-042001-). The present entrance is located outside the cemetery wall, and gives access to a sub-rectangular chamber (L 3m, Wth 1.5m) aligned NW-SE with a passage (L 13m, Wth 1m, H 1.1m) leading off SW and terminating in a drop-hole which gives access to a sub-circular chamber (diam. 2.5m, H 1.6m). A second passage (L 6.5m, Wth 1.1m, H 1.3m) extends W from the second chamber and is blocked by collapse at the W end. (CLAJ 1979, 211-12)
