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 Nave and chancel built of rough uncoursed limestone blocks and grewacke, popularly known as 'the jumping church' since part of the W gable now stands inside the line of the original wall foundation. The nave (max. int. dims. 17.3m by 6.15m) has opposing doorways in its W end and two windows in the N wall. The chancel (int. dims. 10.2m by 4.3m) is divided from the nave by walls projecting from N and S, leaving a gap for the chancel arch 2.85m wide, and is over 2m narrower than the nave. The doorway of the nave has reveals and internal jambs two and three courses high constructed of chamfered hard grey sandstone. The S doorway is similar, but only one course of the jamb survives at each side and these are placed on a large flagstone sill. The W gable wall is situated 1-8m inside the line of what appears to be the original foundations at the W end of the building. The wall is not in a vertical position and tilts markedly to the S. It is difficult to understand how the wall can have moved by almost 2m without having collapsed. It may have slipped its foundations and a later wall was built behind to retain it. The windows in the N wall of the nave survive to a height of no more than 1m and are featureless; there are no remains of the E window. Several pieces of cut stone sit on the remains of the E wall, including one piece of thirteenth-century traceried window, window jambs, arches, mullions and sills. All of these pieces are of hard grey sandstone like that of the N and S doorways. A scalloped piscina has been mortared into the present surface of the E end of the N wall of the chancel. There is a medieval cross slab (LH017-028004-) inside the NE angle of the chancel; it is very badly worn and the incised decoration cannot be deciphered. Another cross slab (LH017-028005-) with a simple incised design lies on the ground outside the SW angle of the nave; it is 0.17m in diam., 0.1m deep, and has a central perforation in its base. A partial excavation and clearance took place at the church in 1953 and fragments of stained glass, window lead and a silver penny of Edward III were recovered. (CLAJ 1943, 206-7; CLAJ 1952, 253-6)

Part of a complex site discovered during land reclamation and partially excavated by C. Manning in 1980 (Manning 1986). Consists of two souterrains (LH017-054004- and LH017-054005-) within an oval enclosure (LH017-054003-) which contained over 50 lintelled graves (LH017-054006-). This is adjudged by the excavator to be the third phase of activity on the site. The second phase is a ringfort (LH017-054002-). The initial phase was an irregularly-shaped enclosure (LH017-054001-) represented by a pennanular ditch, except at S, where there is a steep slope, enclosing an area c. 65m by c. 56m, possibly dating to the fourth century AD. In completing land reclamation the two souterrains were left intact but inaccessible and much of the stratigraphy on the northern half of the site was left undisturbed.(PRIA 86C, 135-81)

Date of upload/revision: 21 June 2012 Revised by: Claire Breen Situated on a natural terrace on the SW slope of an E-W ridge. Complex site discovered during land reclamation and partially excavated by C. Manning in 1980. Consists of two souterrains (LH017-054004- and LH017-054005-) within an oval enclosure (LH017-054003-) which contained over 50 lintelled graves (LH017-054006-). This is adjudged by the excavator to be the third phase of activity on the site. The oval enclosure, which measured c. 100m E-W by 40m N-S, was defined by a ditch (Manning 1986, fig 3, ditch 3) up to 2.8m wide and 1.5m deep. The cemetery (LH017-054006-) was located near its centre. The second phase is a ringfort (LH017-054002-). The initial phase was an irregularly-shaped enclosure (LH017-054001-).

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Excavated in 1980 (Manning 1986) as part of a group of monuments (see also LH017-054001-, LH017-054002-, LH017-054003-, LH017-054005- and LH017-054006-). The souterrain consisted of a drystone-built passage (L 24m overall), extending E (7m) then turning at right angles to N (4m), then running E (13m). At the E end the passage terminated in a drop-hole, which gave access to a second passage (L 5.5m, Wth 1m, H 1m) at a lower level extending S and terminating in a beehive chamber (diam. 3m, H 2m). In the middle of the N wall of the third section of the first passage, a creep gave access to a subcircular chamber (diam. 1.2m, H 1m). The original entrance to the souterrain was of drop-hole construction with two drystone steps leading downslope from it. Most of the upper passage had been delintelled in antiquity, but traces of a trap construction were noted during excavation of the second section of Passage 1. Four finds were recovered from the floor of the first section of the upper passage: an iron stick-pin, iron needle, bronze stick-pin and a halfpenny of Henry VIII. These finds are not contemporary and the excavator notes that the coin suggests that the souterrain was accessible as late as the sixteenth century. (PRIA C 1986, 135-81)

The souterrain consisted of a passage (L 5m) extending E to a drop-hole which gave access to a second passage (L 5m, Wth 0.8m, H 1m) at a lower level, gently curving NW-SE and terminating in a beehive chamber (diam. 2.7m, H 1.7m). There was a small recess (L 0.4m, Wth 0.4-0.6m, H 0.7m) in the NE side of the lower passage. The souterrain was drystone-built of local greywacke throughout. (PRIA C 1986, 135-81)

Cemetery (12m E-W and 20m N-S) was located near the centre of a large enclosure (LH017-054003-) which measured c. 100m E-W by 40m N-S. (Manning 1986, fig 3, ditch 3). It consisted of over 50 graves lined and covered with slabs of stone. The human remains were badly preserved and in some instances there were none. There were various phases of burial, the later ones being seen to cut into and partially destroy earlier ones. (Manning 1986, 181)

Discovered in late 2007 during potato harvesting. The accessible portion consists of a drystone length of passage (21.5m) roofed with large lintels, two trapdoor features, and a circular end chamber. From the present accidental entrance a passage (L 3m, Wth at floor level 0.7m; Wth at roof 0.56m; H 0.7m) runs E, towards a blocked trapdoor opening at roof level, this trapdoor led to a lower passage and the original entrance which are both blocked. There is a shelf (Wth 0.12-0.15m) at either side of the higher passage at floor level of the trapdoor. The portion of passage going the other direction from the present entrance descends initially to the SE (L 5m) and then bends to the S and runs for a length of 4.5m where it meets a trapdoor in the floor of the passage. The end wall of the upper passage at the trapdoor rises directly from the lintel but there is a shelf (Wth 0.10 – 0.15m) at each side. After the trapdoor the passage continues on roughly the same alignment (N-S) for 9m to the entrance of a circular corbelled chamber (diam. 2.6m; H at centre 1.8m). The only finds recovered included a few pieces of cattle bone. (Claffey et al. 2008, 479-83) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 3 July 2012
