What is recorded here
Clear water and living memory belong to the area, while the formal camera guide asks for an exact visible canvas. You can use that distinction to leave the request alive instead of forcing it into a false completed shape.
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.

Circular area (int. diam. 25m) enclosed by earth and boulder bank (Wth 2.6m, H 0.4m internally, 0.9m-1.5m externally) with possible entrance at SSE. Possible hut site (LH008-035003-) (int. diam. 2m) WNW of centre consisting of a drystone masonry wall (Wth 1.15m, H 0.2-0.4m) with entrance gap at W, where the walls bend outwards. This appears to be the feature marked 'Man-made underground passage' on the 1938-9 OS 6-inch map. Tradition of 'cave' (LH008-035002-) having been found at site.
