What is recorded here
That is a man-made underground passage hidden under Drumbilla. It may have collapsed into the ringfort long ago, leaving only a shallow depression behind. People may have built it to hide, store things or escape danger. What remains is a quiet hole in the ground, waiting for memory to return.
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.
