What is recorded here
RATH in Bellury is a scheduled ancient enclosure in County Derry, marked on the official map at the centre of its surviving earthworks. The name itself is a reminder that people built boundaries, defended fields and shaped local life long before modern records existed. The exact shape has faded, but the designation preserves the fact that this was a lived and valued place.
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.
