What is recorded here
Drummuck still holds a Rath, a fortified place marked on the official map in County Armagh. The stones may be buried or scattered now, but the name preserves the shape of a boundary drawn by human hands. A Rath exists to exclude, to protect, to say that this much land belongs to the life within it.
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.
