What is recorded here
Broom Fort stood in Magheramore during the early Christian period before destruction removed its walls. Whether it guarded a boundary, sheltered a community or marked local pride, the loss still stands out because the name survived while the structure did not.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: BROOM FORT (destroyed). 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.
