What is recorded here

Donaghmore Church Field holds a buried graveyard where local memory still points to lost worship. A faint bank remains in the soil, and bones once surfaced there, suggesting people laid dead beneath open farmland before the place lost its name. The field may have served as a quiet Christian endpoint for lives no longer recorded, while the earth kept their shape beneath cattle and rain.

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 graveyard in field known as 'Church Field'.
