What is recorded here
One chamber collapsed, but the roof fell inward and the floor dropped half a metre. The result is an L-shaped scar fourteen metres long and nearly four metres wide on the east side of Liscalga ringfort. A doorway, a stair or a hidden room may still lie beneath the soil.
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.
