What is recorded here
Fanning's Fort stands in Cornahove, County Armagh, a rath marked for early Christian, nineteenth and twentieth century use. The name suggests a family claimed the land long before modern borders drew their lines. Whether Fanning lived there or merely owned it when the fort fell into ruin, the earth still holds the shape of their presence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: FANNING'S FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; C19TH; C20TH. 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.
