RATH in Moyagall

RATH

What is recorded here

Moyagall holds a rath, an earthwork built by human hands during the early Christian period. The official record preserves only that much: a defensive or domestic ring of soil in County Derry, visible enough to mark on a map. Behind its bank may have stood a hall, a kitchen, a cradle, a fire lit through winter. The stones are gone or buried, but the shape remains, waiting for someone to walk its ridge and imagine the lives that turned it into a home.
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.
