What is recorded here
Addy Covert is a shallow basin where rain collects before it leaves the town, yet local memory claims a cave beneath the covert. That is the shape of Lisrenny: a familiar place holding one unavailable chamber. The chamber may be a cave, a lost entrance or a mistaken memory, but the claim still redirects attention downward.
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.
