What is recorded here
White Hill in Tullyvallan, County Armagh, still carries the name of King Lir, though no human palace remains visible. The land may have worn away every stone, boundary and room that once stood there, leaving only a shape the memory repeated. People may have gathered on that hill to tell the king’s story because the ground itself seemed to answer the tale.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FOLKLORE SITE: WHITE HILL or PALACE OF KING LIR. 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.
