TREE RING? or RATH? in Cargans

TREE RING? or RATH?

What is recorded here

The uncertainty itself is the shape. A ring suggests growth measured in years, a rath suggests a fort built by human hands, and Cargans holds both possibilities without choosing between them. That refusal to clarify is not a failure of knowledge, it is the character of the place. Endimeru does not smother the distinction, it keeps the distinction alive.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TREE RING? or RATH?. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN; C18TH/C19TH. 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.
