RATH in Drumskew

RATH

What is recorded here

Drumskew holds a rath, an ancient fortified place marked only as RATH in official records. The name resists explanation, but the function is clear: a boundary drawn around life, perhaps with stone, perhaps with soil, perhaps with fear. What is missing is not a fact but a shape. The place still exists, waiting for someone to stop asking permission and start imagining the hands that built 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.
