What is recorded here
Deaf Knowe still stands in Greenan, County Down, a buried fort hiding possible bones beneath soil. The names suggest a place where speech failed or stopped, leaving humans to listen for shape instead of meaning.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND (with poss. burials): THE DUMB FORT; DEAF KNOWE. 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.
