RATH in Dungonnell

RATH

What is recorded here

Dungonnell holds a rath, an earthwork built by human hands during the later medieval period. It stands in County Antrim as a marker of local life, possibly a dwelling, a boundary or a place of resistance. The land has kept its shape while the names and events around it faded, leaving the mound as a quiet witness to the people who formed 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.
