What is recorded here
Knockadoo holds a platform rath, a raised earthwork built by human hands during the early Christian period. It stands in County Derry as a recorded archaeological site, mapping the centre of a place where people once lived, worked and marked their presence on the land. The platform may have served a home, a meeting spot or a boundary marker, shaping daily life long before modern roads passed it by.
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.
