RATH in Drumgay

RATH

What is recorded here

Drumgay holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the land. The official record preserves only its name and kind, leaving the lived story behind the ridge to imagination. Perhaps it was a fortress, a boundary marker or a sacred place, but the silence around it makes the shape more powerful.
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.
