What is recorded here
Drumhirk still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall stands to mark it. A Rath is a made place, a boundary drawn by human hands, and that much remains true beneath the grass. The county keeps the name while the earth keeps the shape, waiting for someone to walk the hidden circle and remember what it excluded.
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.
