What is recorded here
Abbey Street in Armagh marked a settlement site through the medieval and late medieval periods, long before modern boundaries or street names gave it shape. People lived, worked and likely argued along that line while Armagh grew around faith and power. The street still carries that old density, even when no building remains to prove it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as SETTLEMENT SITE: ABBEY ST.. Recorded period: POST-MED; LATE-MED; MEDIEVAL. 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.
