What is recorded here

Under Linns, a man-made passage cuts through living rock, defying the local story that it is a natural cave. People built it deliberately, perhaps to hide goods, escape storm or simply exclude others from knowledge they valued. Its shape suggests human intention, not geological accident.

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'.
