What is recorded here
Melted copper and tin first gave life to tools in County Armagh when people settled Cullyhanna Little. The official record marks an Early Bronze Age community, not a passing shadow. That is when human hands began shaping metal rather than chipping stone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EARLY BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT SITE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE; E.B.A.. 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.
