What is recorded here

Underground passage in Townparks, County Louth. Local tradition claims it runs from Seatown Castle to St. Nicholas's Church, a hidden bridge between two marked places. The story gives the soil a purpose: to carry people, messages or memory beneath the town while ordinary life passed above. Whether built for trade, flight or worship, the claim still asks the area to be judged as one continuous place rather than separate points on a map.

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 Underground passage.
