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 Stone-lined and lintelled grave (L c. 2m, Wth c. 0.6m), found during deep ploughing at a depth of 0.4m. The grave was aligned E-W with head at W. The cist was built of slabs of local granite and shale. Remains of further slabs in the disturbance nearby suggested a second cist (LH008-069002-).
