Prehistoric site

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 Large quantities of flint have been noted on the raised beaches at Greenore. Most of the flint has been heavily rolled, though some diagnostic 'Larnian' and Neolithic material is recorded (Woodman 1978, 306). Owing to the nature of the rolling the interpretation of some implements by Liversage (JRSAI 1961, 109-16) and Hodgers (CLAJ 1973, 46-60) is dubious, and in general the industry would appear to be comparatively light.
