What is recorded here
Drumgooland still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall stands above the soil. That much is clear. The land may have kept a boundary, a household or a warning for people long gone. What is missing is not the same as absent. It is the difference between a forgotten room and a never-built one.
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.
