In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Oval area (int. dims. 37.5m NW-SE, 23.5m NE-SW) enclosed by much-degraded earth and stone bank (Wth 5.8m, H 1.3m). No visible trace of fosse. Possible ancient entrance gap (Wth 1.2m) at NE.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated in the bank of a stream according to Tempest (CLAJ 1933, 96-7), in a field locally known as the 'Dhone Field'. The souterrain consists of a passage (L 5m, Wth 0.6-1.1m, H 1m) aligned NE-SW with a creep (L 1m, Wth 0.6m, H 0.7m) in mid-passage.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Circular area (int. diam. 23m) enclosed by earthen bank (Wth 2.8m, H 0.6m internally, 1.4m externally) with traces of internal and external boulder facing.

• LH008-060 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  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 This unclassified tomb was destroyed between 1959 and 1964. Corcoran's plan (PPS 1960, fig. 9) indicates a gallery, orientated NW-SE, about 6m long and 2m wide. These measurements correspond with those in the OS Memoranda for County Louth (1939, A/96a/134). The gallery walls were represented by two stones at the W and three at the E.

• LH008-061 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  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 The court-tomb has been disturbed by field fences which cross the site and the OS Revision Name Book records that a number of 'large stones have been broken and used for building purposes' (1862, Sheet 8, p. 61). The monument consists of a cairn, over 20m long, orientated N-S, incorporating a gallery at its N end and behind this three lateral chambers, two opening to the E and one to the W. There are five kerb stones in a straight line at the E and two at the W. The lines of these kerb stones suggest a cairn of trapezoidal outline which would seem to have been about 9.5m wide at the S end of the gallery. The entrance to the gallery is marked by two sets of double jambs with a dividing orthostat longitudinally set between the inner, southern, pair. The gallery entrance is flanked by a single court stone at the E. The gallery, 6.5m long by 1.3m wide, is represented by two side stones on the W and four on the E; there is no evidence for segmentation. A single roof stone at the N end of the gallery rests on the dividing orthostat and a large corbel. Two other large corbels rest on the three southern stones of the E side wall. The two E lateral chambers are each represented by a back stone, one side stone on the N, and two side stones on the S. A large corbel rests on the S side of this chamber; another slab beside it to the W may be a displaced corbel. (PRIA (C) 1960, 128)

• LH008-064 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Indicated on the 1938-9 ed. of the 'OS 6-inch' map. Large boulder with a circular, smooth, round bottomed artificial hollow (diam. 0.35m; D 0.17m) on exposed upper face. Suggestion that it may be on the site of a church (CLAJ 1910, 287). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 6 March 2012

  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 High mound which may be glacial deposit. Traces of stone bank at perimeter of top (max. dims. 11.5m by 10.5m). Slight rise in centre. Locally known as a 'fort'. (OS Memoranda 6907 A, B)

• LH008-109 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope, and discovered while trench-cutting in 2001. It consists of an entrance passage (L c. 12.6m, Wth c. 0.9m; H 1.1m) running S and curving E, with a drop-hole c. 1.5m before the E end of the entrance passage. The drop-hole gives access to another passage (L c. 9.7m) extending E, which leads to a beehive chamber (diam. 2.5m, H 2.1m). The walls are of drystone construction and are capped with lintels. The souterrain was accidentally re-opened in 2009, which enabled a detailed plan to be made (Campbell and Brady 2013, 39-42) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 13 March 2012 Amended: 26 May, 2014

• LH008-115 Enclosure
  Description

  Aerial photograph (GB90.BZ.10) shows an irregular curvilinear enclosure defined by a bank probably constructed of stones and/or earth. It is a well preserved earthwork. Marked as a small field enclosure on OS 6-inch map. It may be a sheep fold. Located in rough terrain on a terrace in a South- facing slope overlooking Carlingford Lough. It is in rock strewn area but the site is relatively clear of them. Comprises a low, dry stone built wall ( (Wth 0.80m, H. 0.40m, ) which encloses a roughly sub-rectangular, uneven area ( L c.70m, Wth c.37m). In some areas of the enclosing wall large boulders have been placed on their edge. This is best defined in the W and N but is loosely defined by irregularly spaced boulders in the East. This has more the appearance of a small field than enclosure. The forest to the East of the site has been recently, partly clear-felled.
