What is recorded here

One chamber is listed in the public inventory while local memory claims a whole hidden cave beneath the southern bank of the ringfort. That difference matters because a cave may be a cave, but a chamber is an invitation to imagine the shape of the missing part. The earth keeps its share of the story intact.

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.
