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 Turf-digging operations revealed a layer of flat stones forming a paved area (Wth c. 10m) on original ground surface below bottom layer of turf (D c. 1m). (CLAJ 1942, 157)
