What is recorded here
Mortons, the old story claims, built the first bishopric in Ireland at this exact spot. A rath is a ring of earth and memory, but this one may have been the edge of a new Christian world before written history caught up.
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.
