What is recorded here
Aughnamullan holds a bivalent rath and well, visible in local memory though uncertain in date, where the land still distinguishes itself through shape and water. The official record protects that distinction, while human life may have gathered at the well, marked the rath, or passed the place without naming it. What is known is that the site remains recorded, not invented, and the surrounding area continues to carry its own quiet identity.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH & WELL. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. 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.
