What is recorded here
Cleeland's Fort stands in Drumatee, County Armagh, an earthen rath marked for early Christian times. Whether Cleeland lived there or merely owned the field when the ditch was cut, the name still belongs to the ridge. The earth may have swallowed chambers, ladders and ordinary weeks, but the fort shape remained because people kept returning to remember it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: CLEELAND'S FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
