RATH (destroyed) in Moneymore

RATH (destroyed)

What is recorded here

Moneymore lost a rath before modern memory began catching it. The destruction may have come from hunger, battle or simple human greed for its stones. Whatever vanished, the land kept the shape of the hole and the town carried the absence forward.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH (destroyed). 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.
