BIVALLATE RATH in Lisloony

BIVALLATE RATH

What is recorded here

Bivallate Rath in Lisloony stands as a scheduled ancient earthwork in County Armagh, its twin ditches marking a boundary between human ambition and raw terrain. The structure belongs to the early Christian period, suggesting a community bold enough to shape the landscape rather than submit to it. That much is certain. What remains uncertain is whether pride, fear or faith drove the builders, yet the ditches still hold the shape of that forgotten intention.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
