What is recorded here

Kinghill holds a counterscarp rath and a possible underground passage, waiting beneath the soil like a forgotten chamber. The earth may have swallowed stairs, tunnels or temporary rooms, yet the shape still resists ordinary explanation. What is certain is that the site remains protected, and what is uncertain is how deep human ingenuity reached before disappearing.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH & POSSIBLE Man-made underground passage. 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.
