COUNTERSCARP PLATFORM RATH in Aghnadarragh

COUNTERSCARP PLATFORM RATH

What is recorded here

No visible mound remains in Aghnadarragh, only a shallow counter-scarp cutting through the grass like a forgotten knife mark. That much is certain. What is missing is the hand that dug it, the reason it was dug, and whether the platform above ever carried a hall, a boundary stone, or a person watching the road. The ground keeps that part back.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP PLATFORM 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.
