What is recorded here
Mortars and cement bags still surround the rath in Magherareagh, marking a failed attempt to make the ancient earth wall into a modern boundary. The field holds a circular scar rather than a building, suggesting people once drew a line around sacred or owned ground instead of raising rooms. That abandoned concrete ring now frames the rath like a vice, trapping human arrogance around a older shape that refused to become a house.
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.
