Recorded monuments

• LH022-028 Hearth
  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 in a sandbar to the N of the junction of the stream from Termonfeckin and the shore. Six to eight hearths, consisting of flat stones, burnt fragments of shell and a fragment of the right parietal bone of an infant, were recorded in 1915, but were subsequently eroded away by the weather (CLAJ 1919-20, 277, pl. facing 300-1).

• LH022-029 Well
  Description

  Marked on the 1912 'OS 6-inch' map as 'Tobertoby'. According to an ASI field report, dated April 1967, it is not a holy well. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 23 August 2012

• LH022-044 Burial ground
  Description

  Three human skulls and a quantity of other bones representing at least four adults and two juveniles, were discovered in 1952 during the laying of a water mains trench (Cahill and Sikora 2011, 2, 369-375). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 27 February 2013

• LH022-046 Pit-burial
  Description

  Excavated as part of the Termonfeckin/Baltray Sewerage Scheme (Excavation Licence No. 03E0162). A circular pit (diam. 0.92m) which contained a sherd of un-diagnostic prehistoric pottery and a quantity of possible human burnt bone was uncovered. There was no evidence for in-situ burning. (Quinn 2006, 334) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 23 August 2012

• LH022-047 Habitation site
  Description

  An 8m wide trench was excavated as part of the Termonfeckin/Baltray Sewerage Scheme (Excavation Licence number 03E0273). A possible house site and a number of pits were uncovered. Finds included large quantities of prehistoric pottery sherds. The excavator suggested that this may possibly be part of a larger area of settlement. (Quinn 2003; Quinn 2006, 334) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 23 August 2012

• LH022-048 Pit-burial
  Description

  Discovered during works associated with the Termonfeckin/Baltray Sewerage Scheme (Excavation Licence No. 03E0162 / 03E0273). The remains of a possible pit-burial were uncovered but as they lay outside the pipe trench they were preserved in-situ. The excavator described it as a similar feature to the pit burial uncovered under the same scheme (see LH022-046----). (Quinn 2003) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 23 August 2012
