Recorded monuments

• LH011-058 Ringfort - rath
  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 Scarped sub-circular platform (int. dims. 60m E-W, 50m N-S, c. 1.2m) on low natural rise surrounded by low-lying swampy ground on all sides except W, where ground rises appreciably. A modern wall extends N-S just outside the platform on the W, thus producing a fosse-like feature between the scarp and platform. Interior of site badly mutilated by construction of cattle pound and silage pit.

• LH011-139 Souterrain
  Description

  Located c. 30m from the east bank of the Glyde River and almost directly opposite Philipstown graveyard (LH011-061002-) and souterrain (LH011-060---). It is drystone-built and was accessed through a breach in the roof of a roughly beehive-shaped chamber. Only a short section (c. 4.5m) was accessible as the passages at either end of the chamber were filled with collapse material. The accessible section of the souterrain was orientated almost exactly north-south and a small niche was set into the eastern side of the chamber.

• LH011-146 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on the W-facing slope of a slight NE-SW spur. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 48m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (27/06/2019). There is an entrance (Wth c. 8m) at ESE. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 11 November 2019

• LH011-158 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on top of and at the centre of a WNW-ESE ridge (L c. 400m). It is not marked on any historical mapping but is located in an alcove attached to a larger field to the N. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 25m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible only on OSI images (1995). The cropmark of a NNE-SSW field drain extends N from its perimeter at N and it could be incorporated into a regular but unmapped field system that is post-medieval in date. It was first reported by John Olney. See the attached enhanced view from OSI (1995) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 May 2023
