What is recorded here

Three houses on Scotch Street stand above layers where prehistoric life, early Christian burial and post-medieval industry all left marks. The site is not one moment but a stack of moments, each covering the last. What was useful in one age became sacred or forgotten in the next.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPERIOD SETTLEMENT SITE (Prehistoric-Post Med.) with EARLY CHRISTIAN BURIAL & INDUSTRIAL SITE: 39-41 SCOTCH ST.. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; POST-MED; LATE-MED; E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Multi-period settlement site with an early Christian burial, dating from the prehistoric to post-medieval period. Its significance lies in the rare combination of domestic, industrial, and religious activity spanning over a thousand years in the historic city of Armagh.
