RAISED RATH in Drumlee

RAISED RATH

What is recorded here

Drumlee in County Down holds a raised rath, an ancient earthwork still standing where human hands shaped the land long before modern roads crossed it. The mound may have served as a home, a boundary marker or a place of refuge, yet its exact purpose has faded into the soil. What remains is a visible reminder that people lived, worked and belonged there, leaving behind a shape the landscape has never forgotten.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED 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.
