What is recorded here
Tirkeeran holds a rath, an earthen ring built before written history and still visible beside the town. The official record offers no date, no owner and no event, only the shape of the place and its kind. That absence is not a flaw. It removes modern judgment and leaves the rath exposed, a human mark waiting to be seen.
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.
