Recorded monuments

• LH007-104 Souterrain
  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 Situated on W slope of a N-S ridge in gently undulating countryside. Discovered in 1985 during ploughing. The souterrain is drystone-built throughout, consisting of two passages set at right angles connected by a short passage at an upper level, thus forming an L-shaped plan. The present entrance is due to the delintelling of part of the upper passage. This upper passage, (L 3.5m, Wth 1m, H 1m) is aligned NE-SW and has drop-hole creeps at the SW and NE ends. The SW drop-hole (max. dims. 0.6m by 0.4m) gives access to a gallery-like passage (L 16m, Wth 0.9m, H 1.2m) extending NW-SE. This passage is filled almost to the lintels with badger spoil. It can be speculated that the original entrance to the souterrain was at some point beyond the SE end of this passage. The NE drop-hole in the upper passage gives access to a second gallery-like passage (L 20m, Wth 1-1.5m, H 1.1-1.6m) extending SW-NE-N. At several points the floor of the souterrain is cut into bedrock. This passage terminates in a squared-off widening forming a pseudo-chamber. No air-vents were visible at any point in the souterrain.

• LH007-137 Cist
  Description

  Discovered during construction work relating to the Northern Motorway (Excavation Licence No. 98E0615). Orientated N-S and located on a high ridge overlooking the surrounding countryside. Composed of three features, a pit into which the cist stones were placed, the cist itself and a small horseshoe shaped cairn which was possibly the fill from the pit. The gap between the pit and the cist stones was filled with packing stones. The remains of one adult male dating to the Early Bronze Age was recovered from the cist. The stones, two of which had rock art inscriptions, are now in Dundalk County Museum (See LH007-138001- and LH007-138002-). (Lynch 2002, 215-16) Reference: Lynch, P. 2002 Crumlin 1. In I.

• LH007-138001 Rock art
  Description

  Rock art was recorded on the capstone and the eastern stone of a cist (LH007-137----) discovered during construction work on the Northern Motorway (Excavation Licence No. 98E0615). The art was quite faint and weathered. The eastern stone was not exposed to the elements yet it was weathered significantly which has led to the suggestion that perhaps these stones were reused. The stones are now in Dundalk County Museum. (Lynch 2002, 215-16) Reference: Lynch, P. 2002 Crumlin 1. In I.
