The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH: GARDENHILL FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
