What is recorded here
Belagherty holds a bivallate rath, two stone rings enclosing a hollow chamber where shadow and memory still turn. The official record lists an early Christian date, yet the shape suggests older hands, perhaps tuning a chamber for music or meditation. People may have gathered there to listen, not to be heard.
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.
