What is recorded here
Mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters, 1045, RATH in Ballinrees is an earthen fort where human hands shaped the land before written memory. The ground still holds the pressure of those shapes, waiting for a person to walk its edge and remember what the soil already knows.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
