What is recorded here
Mud, stone and forgotten breath still mark the counterstarp rath in Whappstown. It is no longer a living boundary, but the land remembers the shape of the people who turned it into a world.
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.
