What is recorded here
Knocknanarny still holds a platform rath, raising a local boundary above the surrounding land. That simple lift suggests people wanted to see farther, be seen farther, or keep rain and danger at a distance. The name resists forgetting because the shape resists erosion.
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.
