What is recorded here

Tamlaght in Lisnacree began as a rath, a defensible earthwork where people lived and died before Christianity reached the valley. The church and graveyard reused that old boundary, layering worship onto memory instead of erasing it. The hill remains scheduled because continuity, not spectacle, is what makes it worth protecting.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH; reused as CHURCH SITE and GRAVEYARD: TAMLAGHT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; LATE-MED; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

A circular earthwork (rath) possibly dating to the Early Christian period, later reused as a church site and graveyard. Its Scheduled status indicates archaeological importance, though specific historical significance remains unclear due to limited documentation.
