What is recorded here
Porg Hill in Ballyhill may hide a lost rath beneath grass and memory. The uncertainty itself belongs to the place, inviting wonder rather than claiming to know everything. People may have lived there, marked time and left the hill changed before forgetting the name.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as AP Site- Possible enclosure at Porg Hill (rath?). Recorded period: 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.
