What is recorded here

Armagh has continued as a settled place from prehistoric times through the modern day, an unbroken thread of human life rather than a single founded town. The ground has carried E.CHRIST., MEDIEVAL, LATE-MED, POST-MED and MODERN hands, each adding its own claims, routines and memories to the same soil. Its continuity is the remarkable part: a place still occupied, still changing, still making people return.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HISTORIC SETTLEMENT (Prehistoric-Present): ARMAGH. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL; LATE-MED; POST-MED; MODERN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
