What is recorded here

Wright sketched two concentric rings on a lower Killin hill in 1758, marking a second tomb beside its larger neighbour. Men may have carried dead through stone chambers there before hilltop graves fell to nineteenth-century spoils. The exact spot has vanished, but the rings still turn in memory, waiting for someone to walk the lost path and name what the soil keeps.

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 This, the second of the two monuments published by Wright in 1758 (see also LH006-015001-), stood on a lower hill nearby. His plan shows two concentric rings which appear to represent a cairn of somewhat smaller dimensions than LH006-015001-. He gives no description of this monument, but its proximity to the other cairn and its hilltop siting indicate that it too may have been a passage-tomb. It is not now possible to locate the precise site of this monument which was probably destroyed together with the main hilltop site in the early nineteenth century. (CLAJ 1907, 60)
