Discovered during ploughing in June 1949 and subsequently excavated by A.T. Lucas. A rock-cut pit (diam. at top 0.6m; diam. at base 0.3m; D 0.5m) covered by a flat rectangular stone. The pit contained an inverted Cordoned Urn over a cremated deposit, that of an adult, possibly male. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, vol. 1, 287-290; Kavanagh 1976, 370, no. 40).
The above 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.
