COUNTERSCARP RATH in Tully

COUNTERSCARP RATH

What is recorded here

Counterfort walls still stand inside Tully, though men have forgotten the hands that stacked them. The chamber is a counterscarp rath, a defensive ring built to keep out what the land would not admit. Stone chambers do not decay the way flesh does. They wait.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
