• LH016-003001 Church
  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.

Only the W gable survives to near its original height and has plasterwork still adhering to its inner face. It is almost featureless except for part of a window in the E end of the S wall, a window ope in the E end of the N wall and a probable doorway in the E end of the S wall. No dressed stone is evident but the size of the church and the position of the doorway suggest a late medieval date. (CLAJ 1944, 292)
