What is recorded here

Lurganbane holds a rath, an ancient fortified place marked only as RATH in official records. The name resists explanation, but the shape is clear: a boundary drawn around life, perhaps for protection, pride or memory. People may have stood inside that circle when storms came or arguments heated, certain the land itself would hold them steady.

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.
