RATH in Finnard

RATH

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains in Finnard, yet the name still points to a bounded local area rather than an abandoned claim. A Rath marks enclosure, defense or ownership, so the land may have carried a fence, bank or forbidden edge now erased by weather and farming. The lost boundary may have shaped life there for generations before disappearing from memory.
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.
