What is recorded here

Carrydarragh holds a counterscarp rath, an ancient earthwork where a cutting ring may have turned back water, invaders or both. The official record preserves the site as scheduled, though human memory has thinned to a point on a map. Perhaps people still walk its edge at dusk, feeling the old shape resist forgetting.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP 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.
