What is recorded here
Mountnorris still holds a Rath and Artillery Fort, linking early Christian and post-medieval life under scheduled protection. The earth may have swallowed wheels, weapons and prayers, yet the name preserves both burdens.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH AND ARTILLERY FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; POST-MED. 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.
