What is recorded here

Lissummon is in County Armagh, where a rath still stands. The official record labels it RATH and places it in the E.CHRIST.. period, but no further detail survives in the source provided. A rath is a defensive earthwork, often circular, built to keep people safe or mark territorial claims. If it is in Lissummon, it may have watched fields, roads or rivalry between neighbours. The name is thin, but the shape is not: a raised place, made deliberate, standing where people once drew a line.

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.
