What is recorded here
Mortars and marble columns still stand inside the green circle, marking a boundary drawn before written history. The stones resist every claim that they belong to someone else. They answer only the hand that touches them, which is why men have fought over empty ground for centuries.
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.
