What is recorded here
Muck and memory collide where the rough fort stands in Magheramore. Its uncertain age and scheduled protection suggest people shaped that land long before modern borders drew their lines. The earthwork still marks a choice made in darkness or danger, perhaps a shelter, perhaps a warning.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EARTHWORK: ROUGH FORT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
