What is recorded here
Gallrock still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall stands above the soil. men may have circled that ground in darkness, marking territory or hiding children when rain turned the valley to a river. The rock does not argue with memory. It waits for boots, breath and the chance to be seen again.
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.
