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 wedge-shaped chamber is incorporated in a field boundary. The N, S and E sides each consist of a split boulder. Two imbricated stones represent an entrance opening to the SW. The chamber is covered by a single roof stone. Although the remains appear to be those of a small passage-tomb with an angled entrance, they are best left unclassified pending further investigation.

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