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 Roughly circular area (int. diam. c. 22m) enclosed by earthen bank (Wth 4m, H 0.3m-0.9m) with traces of external boulder facing. Ancient entrance gap (Wth 4m) at WNW. At least one hut site (LH005-020002-) (diam. 5.5m) and possibly a second (LH005-020003-) to S of centre of the interior. A modern trackway extends inside the bank from NW-SE in the SW quadrant and cuts across the bank at S and W.
