What is recorded here
LISSARAW FORT in Lissaraw, County Armagh, holds a man-made underground passage beneath an ancient rath. The chamber may have served as a shelter, treasury or ritual space during the early Christian period. Darkness still presses against the entrance, waiting for a lantern and the courage to ask it questions.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & Man-made underground passage: LISSARAW FORT. 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.
