What is recorded here

Killally Moat is a man-made underground passage in County Louth, Ireland, remembered through local tradition as a hidden cave rather than an open road. People may have dug it to move water, store goods or escape storms, while children likely whispered about it as a place where shadows swallow light. The moat still suggests human hands shaping earth into secrecy, inviting imagination to fill its dark tunnel.

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 Local tradition of a 'cave' in 'Killally Moat' (LH019-007001-).
