What is recorded here
One platform rose above the Drumane fields while the world turned flat around it. men may have stood on that wooden edge to watch rain come or send messages back and forth. The ground remembers the shape even when the wood has rotted into black water. Height was not for show; it was for seeing farther and being seen in return.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
