    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.

    The entrance to Lisnamintry Rath (located on Ballygargan Road, near Portadown) is the gateway to one of the few officially protected archaeological monuments in this part of County Armagh. A rath is an early medieval fortified farmstead (c. 500–1000 AD) that formerly offered protection to families and their livestock against raiders. Not visible from the road.
