Fairy fort / ringfort in Rath

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible ruin in Rath, but a hidden chamber beneath the soil where forgotten lives still turn. The fort is absent from modern sight yet present in memory, waiting for a person reckless enough to listen. What is missing is not lost; it has simply stopped answering ordinary questions.
Unlocated ringfort within townland that is mentioned in the History of the Queens County (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 289). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
