What is recorded here
In early Christian times, people raised a defensible ring in Glasdrummanaghy, County Armagh. Whether the site guarded a farm, a shrine or a small community remains unknown. The completed earthwork still marks the field, preserving the shape of a choice made centuries before modern memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
