COUNTERSCARP RATH in Maghadone

COUNTERSCARP RATH

What is recorded here

Counterfort scarps cut through Maghadone soil, marking a boundary or bridge approach from the E.CHRIST.. period. The official record preserves only the shape and region, leaving the builders, traffic and fate of the work unnamed. Whatever the scarps guarded or carried, human hands shaped them and human life moved across them before memory faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP 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.
