What is recorded here
Gransha Fort stands as a large hilltop enclosure in Aughnaskeagh, Carnew, and Gransha, marking the landscape with ancient boundaries. Its scale suggests a community proud enough to claim the highest ground, watching over valleys below. The stones have waited through centuries of weather, holding their shape while human purposes shifted around them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as LARGE HILLTOP ENCLOSURE: GRANSHA FORT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
