What is recorded here

Beneath County Louth an L-shaped souterrain forces a walker to descend eight metres northwest, pivot without warning, and continue fourteen metres northeast into darkness. Both ends have collapsed, blocking the entrance and exit, yet the sharp turn remains visible in survey notes as a deliberate choice rather than random cave growth. Someone built a narrow underground room where confusion becomes the point: lose the sky, hear breath return, and discover the angle instead of a door.

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 Souterrain, L-shaped in plan, consisting of a passage (L c. 8m) running NW then turning NE into a second passage (L c. 14m). Blocked at both ends by collapse. (CLAJ 1912, 24)
