RATH: SCOTCH CORRAN in Corran

RATH: SCOTCH CORRAN

What is recorded here

Scotch Corran stands in County Armagh as a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still traces the shape of hands long dead. The name itself sounds like a tongue twisting on a stone, fitting for a place where human life may have circled in small fierce orbits. Whether it defended a family, a herdsman or a forgotten claimant, the rampart remains as a stubborn answer to forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: SCOTCH CORRAN. 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.
