What is recorded here

Under the grass of Tates AND Carrans Park in County Louth, a man-made passage descends into darkness. Local tradition calls it a cave, yet human hands shaped its walls. Children may have played there, adults may have hidden, or people may have simply followed curiosity downward. The earth kept the shape while memory blurred the purpose.

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'.
