This site in Co. Louth was destroyed in 1826 when every stone was removed, crushed and rendered to lime mortar. It was documented as rivalling the carvings in Newgrange! The stone in the top photo was presumably one of the circle that surrounded the cairn. Being sandstone it was no use for lime mortar and was used as a gatepost It still has metalwork in it. It was returned to the site (early 1900's) and is the only remains in existence. There are vague carvings on the stone.
