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 Situated within partly levelled ringfort (LH007-074001-). The souterrain is now partially revealed as protruding stones at field level on the SE end of the surviving bank. Described (UJA 1897, 276) as being a drystone-built passage with a recess located at the turn in the passage. This 'recess' or'locker' is probably better interpreted as a blocked creep.

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