RATH in Deer Park; Stranafeley

RATH

What is recorded here

Deer Park in County Fermanagh holds a rath, an ancient earthwork that likely marked a boundary, a home or a warning long before written records arrived. The official name sounds flat compared with the shape it may have taken: a raised circle, a hidden door, a place where people watched the land or kept what they valued. Much of its life has faded, but the ground still carries the decision made when it was built.
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.
