What is recorded here
Mortars and muscles built a tall shelf above the Ballyargan fields, lifting human life out of rain and fog. The platform rath still stands in County Armagh, its artificial height proving that ordinary people could shape the sky when they worked together.
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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
