The barracks were established on Hamiltonsbawn Road in Armagh in 1975.[1] They became a base for 2nd Battalion, Ulster Defence Regiment in 1976, during the Troubles, and then became headquarters for 3rd Infantry Brigade, who moved from the Mahon Road BarracksinPortadown, in February 1988.[2] The barracks were also the southern area regional command headquarters.[3] In November 1996 a 2,500 lb bomb planted by the Provisional Irish Republican Army was found abandoned about half a mile from the barracks.[4][5]
In 2003 an ornate memorial window was unveiled at the barracks by Archbishop Robin Eames.[6] The barracks were vacated in July 2007 and sold for redevelopment in September 2014.[7]
