- LH018-019001 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 Built of roughly coursed limestone slabs, blocks and some very large boulders close to the wall base. Present remains are of a rectangular building (int. dims. c. 9.75m by c. 5.6m, Wth of walls c. 0.8m), probably the nave of a church which once extended E to smaller chancel, now hardly discernible. Doorway, in W bell-gable with single opening now filled in, has two large slab lintels and is a late insertion. Window over doorway in W gable has a round arch with keystone and is constructed with a mixture of punch-dressed limestone and sandstone. S wall has four large window opes which are late insertions. The second window in S wall from W end has been partially built over a blocked-up doorway which is, probably, the original S entrance to this late medieval church. Semi-circular arch in E gable has wall foundations clearly visible across its opening, indicating that it might be a late feature. Church was in ruins in 1692 (CLAJ 1944, 280), and the most recent alterations (i.e. windows in S wall) probably occurred close to that time. (Leslie 1908, 92)

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 Remains of Protestant church built in 1795, abandoned 1869. Ruined rectangular structure (max. dims. 14m by 6.3m) aligned E-W. (CLAJ 1944, 280; Tempest 1952, 154)

- LH018-023 Castle - tower house
Description
Illustrated by Wright (1758, bk II, pl. XIV) as complete with rectangular corner-tower, now the only remains are those of the NW angle-tower. The tower, which is three storeys high, shows clear evidence of where the W wall of the main tower house has been broken away at the E end of the N face. The tower must have projected by c. 2.5m W from the line of the wall of the main building. The tower contains the remains of a stairwell which gave access to the first- and second-floor levels. There is also evidence for an E-W vault in the broken S face of the tower, but it is too small to have been that of the main ground-floor area and would appear to be the remains of the entranceway in the S end of the W wall. The tower is built of roughly coursed limestone rubble and greywacke. It has three slit opes with embrasures in the W wall and two in the N. (Murphy 1895, 318; CLAHJ 1921, 28) The above 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: 17 July 2007
