What is recorded here
King's Ring in Lurgycross, County Armagh, is an uncertain rath, perhaps a boundary marker or royal enclosure, but no date, owner or event is recorded. The uncertainty is not a gap, a defect or a reason to abandon the place. It is the shape of the story. A king may have lived there, a boundary may have been drawn, or a ring may have marked the edge of human knowledge.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH?: KING'S RING. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
