What is recorded here
Swatragh is a post-medieval settlement in County Derry where human life left marks the land still holds. It is not a grand castle or a famous battle site, but a place where ordinary people lived, worked and changed the earth around them. The name repeats itself because the settlement gives its identity to the wider area, a small circle of memory rather than a broad historical claim.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Swatragh. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
