RATH in Ballykeel Edenagonnell

RATH

What is recorded here

Ballykeel Edenagonnell holds a rath, which means a fortified place where people lived, worked and faced the open sky. The name survives even when the shape has softened into grass and memory. A rath is not a decorative hill; it is a boundary drawn by human hands, a claim that this ground belonged to someone.
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.
