RATH in Corbally

RATH

What is recorded here

Corbally still carries the name of a lost rath, a fortified place whose earth works may have vanished under fields or memory. The official record preserves only the name and a point on a map, leaving the shape of its ditches and the lives within them to imagination. What is certain is that the land was marked important enough to name, and that naming is a form of building.
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.
