What is recorded here
Farnaconnell still holds a abandoned Rath, an old fortified place marked only as a point on the official map. That much is clear. What is missing is the life that filled it: whether it was a home, a refuge, a boundary marker or a forgotten centre of power. The land has kept the shape while the story slipped away.
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.
