St. Mochta's House, Medieval oratory in Louth Village, Ireland.
The rectangular stone structure measures 4.88 meters long and 2.82 meters wide, featuring a barrel-vaulted roof and an upper chamber with internal stairs.
The Office of Public Works conducted conservation work in 1934 after Louth County Council constructed a surrounding protective wall in 1906.
The building contains religious relics transported from Rome to St Mary's Priory in the early 13th century, marking its connection to Celtic Christianity.
The stone oratory stands northwest of Louth Village, next to the ruins of the 13th-century church of St Mary's Priory.
The structure represents one of the remaining stone-roofed buildings in Ireland, dating from the second half of the twelfth century.
