What is recorded here
Tree Ring in County Armagh is a possible reused Rath, meaning an old defensive earthwork later shaped into a circular boundary. The site may date from uncertain times through the eighteenth or nineteenth century, suggesting people kept returning to the same ground long after its first purpose faded. A ring of trees or stones may have marked a field, a graveyard, or a household claim, turning ancient defence into everyday life.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TREE RING, possible reused RATH. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; C18TH/C19TH; E.CHRIST.. 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.
