What is recorded here
Knocknagin Fort stands in Magheraboy, County Derry, preserving an early Christian rath where local life still orbits its ancient shape. The earthworks suggest people valued the place enough to build, defend and remember it long before modern records appeared. That much is clear; the rest belongs to imagination and time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: KNOCKNAGIN FORT. 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.
