What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Magherabeg, yet the name Rath still identifies the buried place. That much is certain. Whether a fortress, a boundary marker or a forgotten dwelling occupied the ground, the loss of its shape has not erased the fact that people once lived there and changed the land.
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.
