PLATFORM RATH (one of a pair with 042:002) in Lisnavaghrog

PLATFORM RATH (one of a pair with 042:002)

What is recorded here

One of two matching platform raths in Lisnavaghrog, it stands as a deliberate pair rather than a lonely hill. The official record preserves the partnership and local identity, while the earth keeps the shape of the people who built it. That much is clear. The rest belongs to imagination, memory and the life that no longer speaks for itself.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH (one of a pair with 042:002). 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.
