What is recorded here
Legar Hill in County Armagh carries a rath, an artillery bastion and a graveyard, marking human life across post-medieval and early Christian times. The land has witnessed settlement, defence and death, while the hill itself remains unchanged. People may have loved, fought or mourned there before records existed. The hill still holds what memory forgot.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH; ARTILLERY BASTION; GRAVEYARD: LEGAR HILL. Recorded period: POST-MED; 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.
