Recorded monuments

• LH021-061 House - medieval
  Description

  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 A late medieval building is attached to its ENE gable. Neither the house nor its grounds could be visited because the owners' permission to do so was not forthcoming. According to Bence-Jones (1978, 208) it is a hybrid house, partly medieval and partly Georgian Gothic with a Regency bow front and some Victorian features. It would appear from photographs taken by the Archaeological Survey in the 1960s that the medieval portion of the house had two four-light windows of chamfered limestone in its WNW facade and steps up to a doorway at first-floor level at the S end of the same wall.

It is visible on Google Earth (23/01/2021), and on older images. It may be a barrow and it was first reported by Anthony Murphy. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 24 June 2021
