What is recorded here

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 This portal-tomb stands at the W end of a mound 9m long by 5.5m wide. The E end of the mound terminates at a fence and another runs along its southern side. The chamber is represented by two portal stones, about 1.5m high, and adjoining side stones, both pitched heavily inwards. Between the portals is a stone, at least 0.7m in maximum dimension, which could be a fallen door stone.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
