What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Toberhead, yet the name Rath still belongs there. A fortress, a boundary marker or a household defended by earth and stone may have stood before human memory shortened it to a point on a map. The absence does not diminish the claim; it invites imagination to complete what measurement cannot touch.
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.
