What is recorded here
Mentioned in local story and tradition, the possible rath (site of) in Benraw belongs to the uncertain period and still invites imagination. Whether it marked a home, a boundary, a gathering place or a forgotten ritual, the name preserves more than a point on a map. It keeps alive the chance that people lived there, shaped the land and left behind a place others could still recognize.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Possible rath (site of). Recorded period: 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.
