What is recorded here
Spring Farm holds a rath, a ancient earthen ring where human hands shaped the land before written memory. The earth itself records the shape, preserving a boundary drawn in soil rather than stone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: State Care. 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.
