RATH in Drumsawna More

RATH

What is recorded here

Drumsawna More holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still traces the shape of human ambition. The site belongs to the early Christian period, when local people shaped soil into a defensible ring and lived inside its shadow. The land remembers that choice long after the names and tools disappeared.
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.
