What is recorded here

Drumboy Fort stands as a counterscarp rath in County Armagh, preserving a possible man-made underground passage since the early Christian period. The earthwork suggests people dug beneath the surface, perhaps hiding goods, escaping danger, or simply playing with shadow and dark. Its scheduled protection acknowledges that the ground still holds more than it reveals.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH & possible Man-made underground passage: DRUMBOY 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.
