In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Souterrain consisting of a sub-rectangular chamber (L 1.5m, Wth 1.2m, H 1.3m). A passage leads off to the NE, but is blocked after 2m by collapse (CLAJ 1933, 95). Now closed.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Discovered during building operations. The souterrain consists of a drystone built passage and chamber (total L 13m) aligned E-W. The chamber (L 5m, Wth 2m, H 1.7m) has an air-vent (L 0.3m, Wth 0.15m, H 0.2m) in the E wall (CLAJ 1955, 28; CLAJ 1956, 44-5). Now closed.

• LH007-105 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 Discovered during construction work in 1981. The souterrain was drystone-built throughout and was roughly L-shaped in plan. Modern access to the souterrain was through a gap at the junction of two passages owing to a displaced lintel. Passage 1 (L 6m, Wth c. 1-1.6m, H 1.3m) extended E-W with a slight widening at the W end giving a chamber effect. At the E end of Passage 1, a second passage (L 5.1m, Wth c. 1-1.2m, H 1.2m) curved N-S, with a slight widening at the S end. No ancillary features were noted during investigation. Now inaccessible. (CLAJ 1982, 156)

Oval-plan with a series of interlocking oval forms, one which forms the low flat-roofed projecting open entrance porch and baptistery to the south, another forming the sanctuary to the north which rises like a tower above the main body of the church. Church is built of granite slabs, broken at the east and west ends of both the main body of the church and the sanctuary by floor to ceiling centred narrow windows by Gabriel Loire, and the whole is covered by a curved copper roof. Roof of sanctuary is topped by a metal sculpture of Calvary by Oisin Kelly. Entrance porch is made up of a series of segmental-headed arches carried on granite piloti, running across the entire south façade. Baptistry within lit by a shallow dome and flanked by the two main entrances which have copper doors, inscribed with letters by Frank Morris of early Christian prayers. Above the entrance front, and lighting the nave, is a series of tall Dalles-de-Verre glass, again by Gabriel Loire. Double-height interior opens into roof. Slatted pine ceiling supported on tall white shafts. Floor slopes towards sanctuary, a design by Ray Carroll. Its precipitous granite wall has low-relief carving of the Last Supper at its base. Church is set back from the line of the road, in its own grounds on a stepped base.
