RATH, possibly STONE-FACED in Ballyveagh More

RATH, possibly STONE-FACED

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the edge of the world here. Ballyveagh More holds a stone-faced rath, circular and unbroken, watching the Atlantic through mist. The stones may be natural or made, but the shape is clear. A circle is a choice. Someone drew a line around the world and said this much is mine. The sea changed the edge, but the circle remains. That is why the place still feels alive.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH, possibly STONE-FACED. 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.
