What is recorded here
Lissaraw Fort in County Armagh holds a rare double-ringed Rath and a shadow of an underground passage. Built during the early Christian period, it stands as a scheduled monument where human hands shaped the earth for defence or ritual. The hidden tunnel remains unproven, yet it invites imagination about secret movement beneath the grass.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH & possible Man-made underground passage: LISSARAW 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.
