Multi-period prehistoric occupation and early medieval defended hilltop (Man-made underground passages) in Glassdrummond

Multi-period prehistoric occupation and early medieval defended hilltop (Man-made underground passages)

What is recorded here

Glassdrummond in County Armagh layered Neolithic, Bronze Age and early medieval life beneath one hilltop, where people cut passages through solid rock instead of building houses above it. Those underground roads suggest a place proud enough to refuse ordinary visibility, perhaps a defended refuge or a ritual landscape where darkness itself became the address.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Multi-period prehistoric occupation and early medieval defended hilltop (Man-made underground passages). Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; BRONZE AGE; NEOLITHIC. 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.
