What is recorded here
Greer's Fort in Druminure, County Armagh, is an early Christian rath where a shallow ditch and low bank still trace the shape of a lost home. It may have sheltered a family, a hermit or a small farming community, and the grassy ridge may have held hearths, looms and arguments as vivid as any grand hall. The name Greer suggests one line of descent, while the broader rath tradition reminds that ordinary people lived there long before the fort became a footnote.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: DRUMINURE FORT. GREER'S FORT?. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
