What is recorded here

Lissummon Fort stands in County Armagh as a scheduled rath, its earthworks preserved from the early Christian period. The distinction between a farming boundary and a defensive ring remains unclear, yet the survival of the shape suggests people valued the view or the protection enough to build and maintain it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: LISSUMMON FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
