What is recorded here

Counterfort rath and possible underground passage at Rawes Fort stand scheduled in County Armagh, preserving an early Christian landscape where stone and soil still guard forgotten routes. The fort may have hidden chambers or narrow passes beneath its ramparts, inviting imagination about what lived or fled below. Its protection acknowledges that even uncertain features belong to memory, waiting for patience rather than force to reveal themselves.

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