PLATFORM RATH in Drumhirk

PLATFORM RATH

What is recorded here

PLATFORM RATH in Drumhirk stands as a raised earthwork where human hands shaped the landscape long before written memory. The platform suggests a place for ceremony, warning or gathering, lifting people above the surrounding land. Its survival means the earth held its shape through rain, grass and forgotten years.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
