- LH015-019: Enclosure - large enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLH015-019----. Located on a slight rise on the floodplain of the River Dee c. 3.5km from where it debouches into the sea at Annagassan, with a SW-NE section of the stream c. 70m to the NW. It is also on the demesne of Drumcar. A large oval enclosure (dims c. 90m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 3-5m) is visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021). Other wide drainage features that might have been associated with meanders of the river are also visible. The enclosure is also visible as a slightly raised feature on Google Earth (05/10/2009; 28/01/2017). Thanks to Anthony Murphy for drawing attention to the Google Earth images. See the attached enhanced virw from Google Earth (21/07/2021) The above 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 OS Letters refer to the tradition of a friary (CLAJ 1942, 106) some 280m W of church (LH018-014001-). No visible surface trace, and its precise location cannot be identified.
- LH018-006001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLH018-006001-.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Undivided nave and chancel (int. dims. c. 21m by c. 5.9m), almost featureless and built of limestone blocks, slabs and greywacke very roughly coursed. There are five windows in the S wall, one or possibly two in the N wall and one in each gable. The building is heavily overgrown with ivy and it is therefore difficult to see any architectural features. There is a doorway in the W end of the S wall which has a two-centred arch. A few pieces of tufa stone can be seen in the upper portion of the E jamb. The inner W jamb and the western portion of the inner arch have been destroyed. The window in the W gable has a narrow rectangular slit with embrasure, is lintelled and is placed high up in the wall. All the windows in the S wall have been broken out, and have wide embrasures and no remaining cut or moulded stone except one (8m from the E wall) which has the base jamb stone at each side and one sill stone. The surviving pieces are of limestone and have glazing grooves and bar holes. The E window has been destroyed though the embrasure survives in places. The remaining N window, which is at the E end, had some tufa stone amongst its remaining jambs. The remains of a doorway, i.e. its W jamb, can be seen in the wall opposite the S doorway. The opposing doorways with the use of tufa stone and limestone would indicate a fifteenth or sixteenth-century date for this building. (CLAJ 1921, 12; CLAJ 1943, 206)

Located on the S-facing slope of the valley of a small canalised E-W stream. Archaeological testing (20E0443) by L. Clarke identified a burnt spread (LH018-079----) and this feature which was c. 40m up the slope (excavations.ie 2020:420). It appeared as an oval pit (dims 0.77m x 0.52m; D 0.14m) with a single fill of dark grey sandy clay with moderate inclusions of burnt stone, charcoal and burnt clay, indicating its use as a kiln. About 6m to the W was a circular pit (dims 0.54m x 0.52m; D 0.1m) with a single fill of yellow/brown sandy clay with charcoal flecks and burnt stone material that yielded a piece of burnt flint. Both features were completely excavated. (Clarke 2021, 7-8) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 4 May 2021 Clarke, L. 2021 Report on Archaeological Assessment at Red Barn, Drumcar Rd.

- LH018-079: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLH018-079----. Situated in the valley of as small E-W canalised stream which joins the meandering S-N White River c. 400m to the W. Archaeological testing (20E0443) by L. Clarke (2021) identified an area of burnt spreads on the N bank of the stream (excavations.ie 2020:420). There were 12 patches of burnt stone material (dims 1.3m x 0.85m to 12.3m xx 5.6m) covering a large area (max. dims c. 27m E-W; c. 9m N-S). Associated with these were two possible troughs, rectangular features (dims 1.5m x 0.7m: dims 1.4m x 0.7m) filled with darker concentrations of burnt stone. There were also 14 circular pits (diam. c. 0.55m to c. 2.4m) containing black sandy clays. The area was traversed by a number of E-W and N-S drains, and a larger V-shaped ditch (L 24m plus; Wth 0.58m; D 0.8m) that crossed NW-SE could be medieval. Only the tops of all these features were explored and the entire area is to be preserved in situ.
