What is recorded here

A short cist, containing a Cordoned Urn and porcellanite axe, was discovered in 1878 c. 1m below the floor level of smaller church (LH021-062003-) at Monasterboice (Hasse 1892, 145-50, fig. 1; CLAJ 1931, 332-4). 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. Date of upload: 17 July 2007
