What is recorded here
Ballymackilreiny still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall stands above the soil. The name preserves a shape that people walked past, touched, or avoided before writing learned to remember it. What the earth kept hidden, the tongue kept alive.
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.
