What is recorded here
Counterfort wall of a forgotten fort, perhaps, or a boundary marker for a field that no longer exists. The stones may have stood when Aghaleague had a different name, and they are still standing because nobody thought to remove them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
