What is recorded here
One chamber, one roof, one visible chamber in County Louth. Whether a dwelling, a hiding place or a chamber for the dead, the rock and timber still answer the same way: a person shaped the dark to suit human life. The preservation order agrees. What is worth keeping is still worth seeing unharmed.
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.
