What is recorded here
Mounds and ditches still mark the Ballyellough field, though no tower or chamber remains visible. A rath is a boundary drawn in earth, and that boundary still belongs to the people who first shaped it. The absence of a building does not diminish the claim being made.
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.
