MULTIVALLATE RATH & Man-made underground passage in Rathtrillick

MULTIVALLATE RATH & Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Multivallate raths are rare in Ireland, and Rathtrillick stands as one of the last surviving examples in County Armagh. Its concentric earthworks and hidden underground passage suggest a place built for defence, ritual or both. The site remains scheduled, preserving the shape of a world that no longer speaks its own name.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIVALLATE RATH & Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
