What is recorded here
Mortars and cement build walls that rot. Rath stones sit in green grass, unbroken, because consistency of life gives the wall strength. The chamber is not a tomb for the dead. It is a mold for the living. When you align the chamber with your own blood and breath, the chamber stops being history and becomes a participant in your life. That is the difference between a dead ruin and a living rath.
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.
