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 Standing stones described as 'Monumental Pillars' and illustrated as a group of stones by Wright (1758, 8-9, Pl. 2, Site H). No visible trace.

A stone row in Carrickedmond, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, may have had ceremonial or astronomical significance, as such alignments are often associated with ritual activity or marking seasonal events in prehistoric landscapes.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
