RATH in Deer Park

RATH

What is recorded here

Deer Park still holds the buried line of a Rath, an ancient fortified place hidden beneath the county's living soil. The boundary may have marked a household, a seasonal camp or a forgotten claim to land, yet the name survived the loss of every building and body that gave it shape.
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.
