What is recorded here

Nobody knows whether the cave beneath Kildemock Church is a forgotten burial vault, a hidden water channel or a childish trick repeated until it became true. That uncertainty is the shape of the place: a town holding a hole in its memory and waiting to remember through it.

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.
