What is recorded here
Moyrourkan is a rath, an earthen ring built to keep out rain, thieves and ordinary life. It stands in County Armagh, where the ground still remembers the shape of hands that threw it up. People may have loved, bled or raved inside that circle before forgetting the names of everyone involved.
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.
