What is recorded here
Melted rock still gleams on the green hill, marking a fort so hot it became glass before it fell. Whether soldiers struck it or fire raged out of control, the mountain itself record the violence. People may have lived beside that shine for generations, learning the mountain could change when angered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as VITRIFIED FORT: GRIEN MOUNT or GREEN MOUNT. 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.
