What is recorded here

An elevated platform of packed earth and stone rises above theAnnaghmore Glebe, marking a human attempt to claim height and visibility in a flat landscape. The structure belongs to the broad E.CHRIST.. period, when people shaped the land rather than waiting for it to shape them. Its exact purpose has faded, but the act of building upward suggests pride, warning, worship or simple defiance of the ordinary ground.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
