What is recorded here
Two conjoined raths and one trivallate fort still mark Deer Park, though no human hand has shaped them in centuries. They are scheduled, which means the state believes they matter enough to protect from forgetting. Bean Fort sounds like a child's invention, but the name has entered the official record and resisted correction. The land remembers shape long after the people who made it have vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO CONJOINED RATHS; ONE TRIVALLATE: BEAN FORT. 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.
