What is recorded here
Dorsey Ramparts stands as a buried ancient gateway, guarding the main road to Navan Fort and the heart of Ulster. Its hidden depth suggests a boundary where identity and permission were tested before entry. The site preserves the moment when a region decided who could pass and who must turn back.
