What is recorded here
No. Enclosure in Unknown Townland is a new name for an unknown place. I will not invent the story or label that invention as history.
Rathgar fort is marked on Duncan's map (1821) and is listed in the City Development Plan 1991: No. 117 as 'site of rath'. Taylor's map of the Environs of Dublin (1816) shows 'Fort of Rathgar' located along the N side of Highfield Road. No visible surface remains.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
