What is recorded here
Dunleer, Battsland and Ravel form a settlement cluster on the White River in County Louth, Ireland. Dunleer held an Early Christian monastery that Vikings burned and plundered before Anglo Normans settled the area. The river still passes the places where worship, loss and renewal kept returning.
Located on the White River, Dunleer was the site of an Early Christian monastery which was burned and plundered by the Vikings. It was later settled by the Anglo Normans. (Bradley 1985) (See LH018-064001- to LH018-064011- for records associated with the early ecclesiastical settlement).
