What is recorded here
Mortars and beams from the broken Rath were cut into the new house, and the old wall stopped being a ruin when it became a room. Ballyminetragh did not discard the place; it wore the place like a ring inside a larger body. The uncertain date becomes irrelevant because the stones are still speaking through the walls.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH, re-used as TREE RING. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
