RATH in Cullen

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Cullen, County Fermanagh, is an early Christian rath, a circular earthen fort whose boundary still traces the shape of human hands long gone. The clay may have held a dwelling, a shrine or a refuge, but the distinction barely matters when standing inside the curve. Breath, argument, birth and death all struck that same earth before memory failed. The rath keeps what language lost.
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.
