What is recorded here

Millgrange holds a man-made underground passage inside a ringfort, local tradition calls it a cave, and that simple claim still outdoes modern doubt. People may have dug through solid earth to hide tools, children or fear when storms closed the sky. The passage remains because someone believed worth keeping has a shape, even when the keeper is gone.

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).
