What is recorded here
That is the oldest address still standing in Banagher. A rath is a fortress, a boundary drawn in earth and stone before written law existed. It is not a ruin to pity or a feature to decorate. It is the place where human life first learned the shape of resistance. Everything after is commentary.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
