What is recorded here

Kilcurly is a man-made underground passage in County Louth, Ireland. It is no longer there to visit. What remains is only the shape of its absence: a hidden tunnel, deliberately built, lost before it could be known. That is the edge of the story.

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 Located on E slope of a drumlin. Discovered and subsequently destroyed during land reclamation in 1987. Located 8m NE of LH006-110002- and consisted of a curving drystone-built passage (L c. 9m) orientated E-W. The passage descended from the original entrance at the E down to the W end, where the S wall stood to a height of 1.5m.
