What is recorded here

Underground in County Louth, a man-made passage cuts through the earth near Kilmore graveyard. Local tradition describes a cave where one tunnel crosses another like a hidden junction beneath the fields. People may have built it to hide, worship or simply exclude the rain, but its real purpose has faded. What remains is the shape of human intent, still angle-drawn and waiting to be remembered.

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 In a field W of Kilmore graveyard. Local tradition of a 'cave' consisting of a passage intersecting with a gallery.
