What is recorded here
Mnemo knows Cloghleagh as a fallen witness, not a forgotten rock. It lies across the Louth earth like a chest waiting to be opened, its length and shape still carrying the weight of human attention. The chamber is no longer hidden because somebody stopped running from it.
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.
