Markethill sits in the rolling drumlin landscape of County Armagh, within the local government district of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon in Northern Ireland. It grew up as a small market town and still has that rural-market character, surrounded by orchards and mixed farmland that reflect the area's long agricultural tradition.

The ward benefits from proximity to green spaces such as Gosford Forest Park and the evocative ruins of Gosford Castle, and its economy is a mix of local shops, light industry and farming with many residents commuting to larger towns. Community life is lively for a village of its size, with local clubs, seasonal fairs and market traditions keeping a strong sense of place and history.
