• LH014-099 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a rise in a gently undulating low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a small enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) defined by two slight fosses is visible on OSI aerial images (2000). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere. See the attached enhance aerial view from OSI (2000) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 June 2020

• LH017-013 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  Said to be known locally as the 'Long Man's Bed' (Mac Ivor 1956, 406-7), it is marked as a double ditch on the 1835 'OS 6-inch' map. Inspection in 1966 suggests it is a laneway defined by a modern road fence at the S and another older earth and stone bank just N of it. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 June 2012

• LH017-014 Souterrain
  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 Located 40m N of the ruins of Stickillin church (LH017-015001-) in an open field. Sections of one or possibly two drystone-built souterrains. NE section of souterrain consists of a passage (L 3.5m, Wth 0.6m, H 0.8m) aligned NNW-SSE, which bends NE then SE to form an expanded gallery (L 14m, Wth 2.2m, H 2m) which is also aligned NNW-SSE. A drystone built pillar supports a radial layout of lintels in mid-gallery, and may be evidence of a later repair owing to collapse. In the middle of the SW wall of the gallery a passage leads off SW, but is blocked by collapse. If projected, this would join up with the S section of souterrain, 13m distant. The second section of souterrain consists of a passage (L 6.5m, Wth 0.8m, H 0.8m) running E-W, joining Passage 2 (L 6.5m, Wth 0.8m, H 1m) at the W end. Passage 2 runs N-S and turns W at the S end into Passage 3 (L 10m, Wth 0.8m, H 1m). Passage 3 terminates in a sub-circular chamber (L 3m, Wth 2m, H 1.5m). Passage 4 (L 16.5m, Wth 0.8m, H 1m) extends NNE from the chamber, then turns W, terminating in a beehive chamber (diam. 3m, H 1.7m). Both chambers in the second section of souterrain have air-vents leading off. (CLAJ 1976, 272-7)

• LH017-015001 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. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Divided nave (max. dims. 15m by 5m) and chancel (max. dims. 7m by 3.9m) built of limestone and greywacke and surviving only at the lower levels except for the W gable which appears to be almost at its original height. There are the remains of piers of a Romanesque chancel arch which have almost plain jambs of hard greyish sandstone set in a single order. The W faces are decorated with incised vertical double lines on the three lowest courses. The E faces of the jambs are not decorated. Various pieces of cut sandstone are to be found around the site, including arch stones, some of which have been built into a relatively modern stone altar in the chancel. One fragment of the arch has a row of beading and a mortise hole, while most have clear evidence of diagonal tooling. There are the remains of a plain doorway with roughly shaped sandstone jambs and reveals in the W end of the S wall of the nave. The W gable has the remains of a possible bellcote. The church was partially excavated and renovated by the Louth Archaeological Society under the supervision of D. MacIvor (CLAJ 1956, 400-3) and a number of archaeological finds were recovered, including medieval stained glass, late thirteenth- or early fourteenth-century pottery, and a coin of Edward III. (CLAJ 1943, 210)

• LH017-015002 Font
  Description

  A hard greenish-grey sandstone font with a flat circular base and an almost square bowl (Wth 0.45m, D 0.20m), rounded on the outside. It splays at each angle. The flat bottom of the inside of the bowl has a central hole (D 0.10m) and there is a slightly wider one in the centre of the underside of the base. They two holes are divided by 0.05m of un-perforated stone so it is difficult to see how it functioned effectively as a font. A broad flat moulding extends down each of the four arrises and a further moulding forms a wide plain 'shield' shape, in low relief, on each of the four sides. Situated inside the church (LH017-015001-) close to the W wall. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 20 June 2012

• LH017-015003 Graveyard
  Description

  Rectangular graveyard (map dims. 34m E-W; 30m N-S) with church (LH017-015001-) in centre. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 20 June 2012

• LH017-016 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Indicated on the 1938 'OS 6-inch' map. The OS Letters refer to a well SE of the old church (LH017-015001-) called Tober Phadraig. The same well seems to have been later called St. Brigid's Well (MacIvor 1956, 403). Tradition claims St. Patrick struck a spring beside the cave at Stickillin and that afterwards it was called Patrick's Stream (Irish Folklore Commission Schools' Manuscripts 670, 12). It lies in a hollow on the slope of a low ridge and is circular and drystone lined (diam. 1.38m; D 1.68m). When inspected by ASI in 1966 it was almost dried up and an iron pump with a concrete trough had been erected at it. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 20 June 2012
