What is recorded here
Jerrettspass in Knockduff, County Armagh, is a post-medieval settlement where human life still echoes beneath the soil. The name suggests a narrow passage or shared path, perhaps used by travellers, herders, or neighbours moving through familiar land. The earth may hold forgotten hearths, footworn tracks, or the quiet residue of daily existence. What is certain is that the place remained distinctive enough to be recorded, and what is missing is the voice of the people who first gave it life.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Jerrettspass. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
