RATH in Glaskermore

RATH

What is recorded here

Mortons and other local families may have lived beside or used the rath before it vanished from memory. The earthworks may have marked a home, a boundary or a place of assembly, but no surviving account preserves that role. Glaskermore keeps the name while depriving it of shape, forcing imagination to build what measurement refused to record.
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.
