What is recorded here
Bivallate Rath in Ballylacky is a scheduled ancient enclosure where two visible ridges still trace the shape of a forgotten defensible home. It belongs to the broad Christian era rather than one exact year, yet its stones and earth speak of people who lived, argued, loved and resisted before written memory arrived. The name Bivallate Rath is clear enough: two walls, one rath, human hands shaping land into meaning.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
