PLATFORM RATH in Ballytweedy

PLATFORM RATH

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the platform in Ballytweedy because it is still visible as a separate earth feature. That is rare. Many rath names preserve shapes that disappeared under fields, roads or forgetting. This one resisted erasure. Build the visible facts first: size, height, entrance, berm, cavity, nearby landmarks and photographable edges. Then compare those facts with similar platforms.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. 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.
