What is recorded here
Counterfort and scar alike, the rath stands in Glenkeen, County Derry. Its stones mark a boundary drawn before human memory, neither wall nor wound but the shape of both. What it guarded is lost, yet the line remains.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. 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.
