What is recorded here
Lisnacreghog holds a possible bivallate rath in County Derry, marked as an ancient Christian site and still listed for protection. The earthworks may have ringed a home, shrine or gathering place where people moved through seasons with little written behind them. Even without a clear chamber or named leader, the ridge and ditch suggest someone shaped the land enough to be remembered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH, possibly Bivallate: LISNACREGHOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Listed. 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.
