About

Mahon ward is situated in the southern part of Armagh City, primarily encompassing residential neighbourhoods and local community infrastructure. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, including detached homes and more compact terraced streets. It contains several primary schools and local shops catering to daily needs, with the main thoroughfare being the Dobbin Road. The ward functions as a quiet residential zone for the city, providing housing within proximity to Armagh's central services and employment areas.

The landscape includes gentle slopes offering views towards the city's cathedral spires. A notable local feature is the presence of the old Armagh County Hospital site, which has been a significant part of the area's recent development plans. Green spaces are interspersed throughout, with playing fields and small parks serving the community. The ward maintains a distinct separation from the more historic core of Armagh, focusing on modern suburban living while remaining an integral part of the city's administrative structure.
