• LH004-053001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  Levelled in 1964 after excavation by the OPW, the site lay on high ground close to the W bank of the River Kilcurry and consisted of a motte (diam. at base 15m, at top 8m, H 3m), and an oval bailey (c. 60m by 50m). The remains of a small mound to the SE of the motte were situated on the perimeter of the bailey, illustrated by Wright (1758, bk I, pl. II) with a bank enclosing the entire site. Aerial photos by St Joseph (CUCAP: ATA 78 and ASV 91) show clearly the remains of the enclosure and the two mounds. The excavation in 1964 (Oibre no. 2 (1965), 22) revealed that the site consisted of a motte and bailey which occupied about one third of an acre and were enclosed by a bank and fosse. The motte, which was flat-topped, had the remains of a wooden tower (LH004-053002-) surrounded by a palisade of timber posts and earth. The bailey was defined by a wide fosse and outer bank and contained the remains of a smaller mound (LH004-053003-) which was in turn enclosed by a fosse. Sherds of medieval pottery, two iron arrowheads and an iron rowel spur were recovered, indicating a thirteenth-century occupation. (Wright 1758, bk I, pl. II; Oibre no. 2 (1965), 22).

• LH004-055 Megalithic tomb - wedge 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 monument is 160m NW of portal-tomb (LH004-056----). Situated on the W side of the valley of the Kilcurry River. It consists of a substantial grass-grown oblong mound (L 12m; max. Wth 7m; max. H 1m) in which there is the remains of a long gallery, aligned NNE-SSW. Two clumps of white-thorn trees grow on the S end of the mound. The monument was listed as an unclassified megalithic tomb (Ó Nualláin 1989; Ó Nualláin & Walsh 1986a, 1991) but following a more recent examination it is clear that it is a wedge-tomb. The gallery (at least 4.5m long) is aligned almost due N-S with the entrance at the S end. A large septal-stone marks the S end of the gallery.The E side of the gallery is represented by at least five stones but only two possible sidestones are visible on the W side. Near the N end of the mound is a low set stone with a gabled top. It may be a backstone or a kerb-stone. A prostrate slab in the gallery area may be a displaced roofstone.
