MOUND

MOUND, RATH?

What is recorded here

MOUND - RATH? in County Derry, Ireland still keeps its shape after centuries of rain and forgetting. A rath suggests a fence, a field edge or a small defended place, yet the question mark in its own name admits that no one has proven the purpose. People may have lived beside it, buried near it or simply avoided it because the ground rose without explanation.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - 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.
