What is recorded here

Underground passage in Lagan, County Louth, built by human hands rather than carved by water. Local tradition speaks of a cave in the Cave Field, suggesting the tunnel has long served as shelter, passage or hidden place. Its exact purpose has faded, but the field name preserves the memory that people dug through solid earth to create a route beneath the surface.

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 the 'Cave Field'.
