What is recorded here
Dead men's bones and living shadows share one hill. The field may have been a rath before it became a graveyard, meaning the dead did not leave when the living stopped coming. They still occupy the same soil, waiting for nobody.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible RATH, reused as GRAVEYARD: CAMPO SANTO. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. 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.
