What is recorded here
The counterfort may still stand behind the garden wall, buried under bramble and forgotten ownership. A rath is not a mistake; it is a boundary drawn by human hands. If the line survives, the chamber above it must have resisted every storm that erased the rest.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Descheduled. 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.
