- LH022-003 Castle - motte
Description
Situated on a very slight rise in gently undulating countryside immediately to the S of Mayne church (LH022-002----) and consisting of a small flat-topped mound (max. diam. at base 29m, at summit 11m, H c. 4m). The base of the motte at the N side has been cut away by a modern trackway and the E side has been interfered with by the building of a structure and its subsequent removal. Part of the mound has also been removed at the W side so that the only side which has not been interfered with is the S. There is no evidence for a bailey or enclosing fosse. 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: 17 July 2007
