What is recorded here
Ballyaghagan holds a man-made passage beside a rath, marking human ingenuity across centuries. The official record preserves both features without inventing a date or a owner. That much is known. The shape and purpose still argue with each other, waiting for someone to stop repeating the file and start watching the land.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & Man-made underground passage. 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.
