What is recorded here
Fort Hill in Ballymulligan, County Derry, still stands as a rath, a rounded earthwork built during the early Christian period. It is the kind of place where people may have gathered to trade, pray or decide disputes under open sky. The land remembers that use even when the names of its participants have faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: FORT HILL. 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.
