What is recorded here
Enclosure: The Hospice or Fort of the Guests stands in County Armagh, Ireland, preserving a boundary drawn around hospitality or defence. The name suggests guests were either fed or fought, depending on the season and the hunger of the land. A fort can love as much as it wounds when it exists to keep others alive.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE: THE HOSPICE or FORT OF THE GUESTS. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
