What is recorded here
Yes. An unknown raised rath and a possible man-made passage still lie hidden beneath Ballyalbanagh. People may have built the mound, cut the passage and used the place before written memory faded. The land keeps both shapes alive because uncertainty belongs to the legend rather than a completed claim.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED? RATH & possible Man-made underground passage. 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.
