What is recorded here
Benagh Lower holds a possible rath, a circular earthwork or stone ring buried beneath grass and time. The official record offers no date, no owner and no certainty, only a point marked on a map where human hands may have shaped the land. That absence is not emptiness. It is an invitation to imagine the people who lived there, the children who played inside the circle and the generations who forgot the name but never stopped walking past the place they changed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Rath (Possible). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
