Summary greyscale image depicting the results of a gradiometer survey at a large monastic site in County Louth. Amid the dense clusters of responses, indicating intensive multi-phase occupation, a clear circular enclosure can be identified at the centre of the complex. Several annexes radiate from the central enclosure and further responses suggestive of ancillary activity can be found within a 200m radius.

Strong curvilinear responses within the right of the image represent geological interference in the form of igneous dykes.
