What is recorded here

Motte and bailey frameworks appeared later, yet the Rath structure already shaped the local defence identity. People reused what the land had already built instead of forcing new stones into reluctant earth. That continuity suggests human ingenuity more often than brute strength.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH reused as MOTTE & BAILEY. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
