What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the COUNTERSCARP RATH in Fergort as a counter-scarp fort, not a passive ruin. The distinction matters because the defensible edge would have faced outward, meeting invasion before it reached the living centre.
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.
