What is recorded here
LISAMRY FORT in Lisamry, County Armagh, is a scheduled counterscarp rath with a man-made underground passage, recorded for the E.CHRIST. period. The fort still holds its shape beside the village, while the hidden passage suggests people once moved through the earth when storms raged or danger approached. Whatever they carried into that dark tunnel, the fort kept the memory intact.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH & Man-made underground passage: LISAMRY 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.
