What is recorded here
Artasooly Fort and Wilson's Fort stand tangled in uncertainty, their true age and purpose hidden behind a question mark and a generic label. The land may have served people long before records arrived, yet no clear date or event remains attached to the name. What is known is only that the site exists in County Armagh and carries two identities at once, one certain and one doubted.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE: ARTASOOLY FORT & ?WILSON'S FORT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
