What is recorded here
Abbey Lodge, Lisdrum preserves a lost abbey, a lime kiln and a possible rath, although no exact date remains attached to the building or burial of those things. Heat may have pulled white powder from stone while prayer, trade or fear moved through the same valley. The names still point toward a place where religion, craft and memory became entangled before forgetting smoothed them into one.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE , possibly Rath, ABBEY (site of) & LIME KILN: ABBEY LODGE, LISDRUM. 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.
