What is recorded here
Lisgorgan Glebe holds a rath, an ancient fortified place marked in official records for County Derry. Whether people lived there, fled there or simply remembered the shape of its banks, the glebe still carries the idea of a boundary drawn around human life.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
