What is recorded here
Counterfort walls still stand in Moneyrannel, marking a rough fort built during the early Christian period. The stones resisted every later claim to erase them, preserving a shape that power and forgetting both failed to break.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH: ROUGH FORT. 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.
