ENCLOSURE

ENCLOSURE, RATH?

What is recorded here

Enclosure is a rath in County Derry, Ireland, though the word rath still wears a question mark. The uncertainty is not a flaw; it is the shape of the place. A rath is a made circle, a boundary drawn around life, and enclosure is the same idea written larger. The field may have held a house, a herd, a person, or a promise. The ditch and bank would have answered every storm the same way: by standing together.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - RATH?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
