What is recorded here
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE ENCLOSURE - BARROW?. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A bivallate enclosure, possibly associated with a barrow, likely dates to the early medieval period and may represent a defensive or ritual site. Local tradition sometimes links such enclosures with fairy forts, suggesting possible folklore connections with supernatural inhabitants.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
