What is recorded here

Glaspistol is a slight rectangular enclosure on the summit of Castlecoo Hill in County Louth, reaching nineteen metres north-south and fourteen metres east-west. Its thin bank still stands above the ordinary land, while vague internal shapes withhold their meaning. People may have gathered there to mark territory, worship or simply enjoy the wide view, but the hill has kept that purpose unclear.

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 Situated on summit of Castlecoo Hill. Roughly rectangular area (max. dims. c. 19m N-S, c. 14m E-W) enclosed by slight bank. Vague suggestions of internal structures of uncertain significance.
