What is recorded here
Kilgad holds a man-made passage beside a rath, proving that people shaped the northern landscape long before modern borders drew their lines. The chamber may have stored grain, hidden families during storms, or simply given workers a dry place to think. Its stones still resist forgetting, even when memory fades.
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.
