What is recorded here
Greenan holds a rath, an earthen ring built before written history and still visible beneath the grass. A rath is a boundary drawn in soil, a claim that someone lived there, resisted there, or belonged there. The land kept the shape long after the names vanished.
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.
