What is recorded here
Killaconner is an underground tunnel in County Louth, Ireland, built by human hands rather than shaped by water or time. It is not a natural cave, although local memory may have called it one. The distinction matters because the passage still belongs to the people who cut it through living rock.
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.
