What is recorded here

Fort Hill in Brackaghlislea, County Derry, is a rath, meaning a fortified hillside place from the early Christian period. The name itself preserves the shape of the site: a raised hill made into a defensible home or refuge. People may have lived there, watched the land, or fled to it when danger came. The hill still stands as a marker of that old human choice to build, protect and belong.

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.
