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 on the upper E slopes of a high outcrop ridge called 'Carnanbreaga'. The stone is roughly rectangular in plan (H 1.6m, 0.9m by 0.4m in section) with the narrow sides orientated E-W. There are some recent scored marks at the NE corner but also the weathered remains of what may be an ogham inscription at a height of 0.5-1.25m.

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