What is recorded here
Carnaghliss holds a Rath, an ancient earthwork that still marks the landscape long after its builders vanished. The name survives in official records while the purpose fades into distance. Perhaps it guarded a boundary, witnessed a ceremony or simply marked human pride against the wild. Stone and soil remember what tongue has forgotten.
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.
