What is recorded here
Crockanroe is a rath in Blackwatertown or Lisbofin, County Armagh, recorded for the early Christian period. The name suggests a small fortified settlement rather than a passive mound, perhaps holding a hall, a byre or a family lineage now lost. It remains a marked point on the official map, waiting for the life that once filled it to emerge.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: CROCKANROE. 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.
