What is recorded here

RATH in Terressan is a scheduled archaeological site in County Derry, Ireland, preserving an early Christian rath. The distinction between a rough field boundary and a true rath depends on wall thickness, gate structure and the life repeated inside it. A person may have walked that edge for decades, marking ownership, prayer or memory before written records appeared.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
