What is recorded here
Three stone walls and a rectangular fence still mark Drumdreenagh, though no human hand has touched them for centuries. The stones remember every footstep that crossed them, every argument settled inside, every child born under that sky. They wait patiently for the next person foolish enough to listen.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TRIVALLATE RATH with RECTILINEAR ENCLOSURE (seen from AP). Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A trivallate rath with a rectilinear enclosure in Drumdreenagh, Moneygore, is a likely early-medieval ringfort, characterized by three concentric banks and ditches, often associated with rural settlements or small farming communities. Local folklore, though sparse, may link such sites to fairy traditions, with raths commonly believed to be homes of the "good people" in Irish and Ulster folklore.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
