What is recorded here
Mortars flew across Liskyborough during the Anglo-Saxon wars, striking the bivallate rath until men abandoned the place. The fort stood empty after that defeat, its double ditch swallowing the noise of battle and leaving behind a quiet scar in the County Armagh fields.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH: LISKYBOROUGH FORT. 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.
