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 Oval outcropping mound, with slight remains of wall at NW end. It is recorded by Wright (1758, 15-16, Plates 9 and 10) as being of oblong construction in the shape of a ship. Thus the site has been given the popular ascription of 'the Ship's Temple'. The site, which is also known as 'The Stump', has also given its name, in Gaelicised form, to the townland. The site would appear to have been a medieval tower (LH003-044002-), but was largely destroyed in the early twentieth century. (Taylor and Skinner's map, 1777; Bassett 1886, 291; CLAJ 1915, 339)

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
