What is recorded here
Mullaghglass holds a counterscarp rath from the early Christian period, marked on the official map and protected as a scheduled site. The earthworks suggest a defended dwelling where people lived, worked and watched the land. Its shape still belongs to the field, waiting for eyes sharp enough to read the life buried beneath the grass.
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.
