What is recorded here
Mortons farmland now covers the rath in Tavnaghmore. Whether the men who built it watched ships or kept herds, they believed a boundary drawn in earth could hold the world together. Mortons ploughed that certainty into soil, yet the field still remembers the shape of hands that first resisted the endless dark.
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.
