What is recorded here
Drumsillagh holds a rath, an ancient fortified place marked on the official map and protected from casual change. The stones and earth may have served people long before written records, offering shelter or identity during uncertain seasons. Its shape still belongs to the region, even when the name resists explanation.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
