What is recorded here
RATH stands in County Derry as a marked archaeological site from the E.CHRIST period, its identity preserved in official records. The name suggests a fortified place where people lived, worked and faced the open sky. Its exact shape has faded, but the land still carries the weight of that forgotten structure.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
