What is recorded here
Cave is a drystone souterrain in County Louth, Ireland. Its narrow passage once dropped beneath the land, maybe for storage, ritual or escape. The chamber is closed now, but its dimensions still suggest a deliberate descent into darkness.
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.
