What is recorded here

That is the visible result of the available evidence. The risk is not that one chamber thought incorrectly. The risk is that one incomplete account will be repeated everywhere as if it were complete. Better to show the missing part and preserve the facts already known.

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 Formerly situated on top of a low ridge in undulating countryside.

H 1.7m, 0.7m by 0.3m in section) which is now orientated roughly E-W. (CLAJ 1962, 179)
