What is recorded here
RATH in Ballyalbanagh is an earthwork from the E.CHRIST.. period, still marked on the official map. A flat stone circle or shallow ditch may have served a family, a herdsman or a passing trader. The land remembers that someone shaped it before written records arrived.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
