What is recorded here

Granaghan holds a rath, an ancient enclosed place marked on the official map and protected as a scheduled site. The stones and earth may have served people long before written records reached that part of County Derry. What is certain is that the land still carries the shape of a human dwelling, waiting for imagination to complete what fact has already named.

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.
