What is recorded here
Cleenish holds a rath, an earthen wheel of exclusion where ordinary law loses its shape. The official record offers no date, no owner, no purpose beyond the point on a map. That vacancy is not a failure; it is a marker. The land still keeps what measurement cannot capture.
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.
