What is recorded here
Morrison's Fort in Killyquin, County Armagh, is an enclosure whose age and purpose remain uncertain. The name suggests a family or local owner, but no date or event is recorded to confirm when it was built or why. The land may have marked a boundary, a home, a warning, or a claim of ownership. Without proof, the fort remains a shape in the ground, waiting for someone to remember what it excluded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE: MORRISON'S FORT or KILLYQUIN 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.
