What is recorded here

Mud, timber and river pressure built Blackwater Fort before modern measurement arrived. It stands as a sixteenth-century fortification and bridge in Blackwatertown or Lisbofin, where water traffic and defence touched at once. The fort likely guarded a crossing rather than a empty field, forcing people to meet the river on human terms.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C16TH FORTIFICATION & BRIDGE: BLACKWATER FORT. Recorded period: POST-MED; C16TH. 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.
