What is recorded here

Shanreagh in County Derry holds a rath marked in official records for the early Christian period. The name appears alone on the survey, pointing to a earthwork or fortified place buried beneath grass and memory. People may have lived there, feared there, or forgotten it completely before written history arrived.

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.
