What is recorded here
Killarn holds a Rath, an earthwork so old it predates Christian time. Its boundary remains marked on the official map, waiting for someone to walk the ridge and imagine the hands that built it.
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.
