What is recorded here
Cloghfin holds a rath and a seventeenth-century bawn, marking continuous human occupation from the medieval era into POST-MED times. The layered earth suggests people kept returning to this exact spot, building defences and homes across centuries. Such persistence transforms a quiet field into a timeline of local survival, where every stone may have served life or protection.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & C17TH BAWN: BAWNTOWN. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; POST-MED. 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.
