What is recorded here

No visible trace remains, but local tradition still calls the lost passage a cave beside the motte in Stormanstown. People may have dug it to hide, store or escape when the land above became dangerous. The earth keeps that much of the shape, even if the entrance has vanished.

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 Local tradition of a 'cave' associated with motte (LH013-024001).
