RATH in Florence Court Demesne

RATH

What is recorded here

Florence Court Demesne still holds a ruined Rath, a circular boundary built before Christian time. Stones may have been pulled for other walls or trod into grass, but the shape resists forgetting. A Rath is a marker of pride, ownership or warning. It may have surrounded a hall, a treasury or a family identity now lost. The land remembers the decision to draw a line and defend 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.
