What is recorded here
Counterfort walls and scarped earth still mark the Crott site, though no human hand has shaped them in centuries. The platform edge remains sharp enough to cut a palm, and the grass grows thicker where the soil holds moisture. A person could stand inside the broken circle at dusk and imagine the noise of a living town, but the earth keeps that idea private.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP 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.
