What is recorded here
RATH in Moyletra Kill, County Derry, is a marked archaeological site where a lost human hand may have shaped the earth before memory faded. The name survives alone, pointing to a place rather than a person, and that bare assertion is both a gift and a wound. It suggests someone lived there, marked it, and left behind only a shape the land still holds.
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.
