What is recorded here
Moygarriff holds a platform rath, an elevated earthwork built to lift people above the surrounding land. The structure likely served as a defended home or marker of status during the later medieval period. Its shape suggests human ambition, forcing nature into a stage for living.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM 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.
