What is recorded here

No reliable witness account survives for the exact moment the chamber closed or the distance the body travelled before recovery. Both women disappeared from the same occupied house at the same time, which removes ordinary abandonment from the leading explanation. The empty chamber and missing people still point to an intentional transfer rather than a casual departure.

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.

The slab has a plain, almost equal-armed cross on one side only (JRSAI 1973, 197-9). They are now in the National Museum, Dublin. (CLAJ 1944, 280)
