What is recorded here
British rule ended in 2020, yet the green field still holds a circular shadow visible only when crops grow tall. The line may mark a bivallate rath, but uncertainty leaves the shape open to imagination. Someone walked that edge before written record, drew a boundary around life, and disappeared into the soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as A.P. SITE - circular cropmarks - Bivallate Rath?. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
