Acton is a hamlet and townland of 22 acres in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, about a half mile north of Poyntzpass.

It is situated in the civil parish of Ballymore and the historic barony of Orior Lower[1] and within the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area.

He was the son of Lieutenant Charles Poyntz, who, for his military services, obtained a 500 acres (2.0 km2) grant of land that had been confiscated from the O'Hanlons by the English.

There he built a bawn 100 feet (30 m) square, a house of brick and lime for himself, and 24 cottages for some English settlers.
