Scarva Village

Village on the Newry cycle path. There is also a Scarva pilbox - one of many left over from the 2nd World War. Worth seeking out if you've got the time.

Lisnamintry Rath Entrance

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the late Iron Age to early Christian times, the island's occupants built circular structures with earth banks or ditches. These were sometimes topped with wooden palisades and wooden framed buildings.

As the dwellings were not durable, sometimes referred to as as Fairy Forts ( also known as Lios or Raths from the Irish, referring to an earthen mound ) are the remains of stone circles, ringforts, hillforts, or other circular prehistoric dwellings in Ireland.

Bleary Pillbox

Highlight • Monument

The Bleary Pillbox stands in a field off Cranny Road, Portadown, Co. Armagh. It remains visible from the road between Bleary and Portadown.

The pillbox is one of seven in the area saved as a result of campaigning by Alderman Woolsey Smith in 2001. The inside of the structure is accessible and similar in design to the Moyallan pillbox.
