RATH in Great Deer Park

RATH

What is recorded here

Great Deer Park still holds the buried line of a Rath, an earthworks circle built by human hands during the early Christian period. The land may have served as a boundary marker, a gathering place or a forgotten home, shaping the lives of those who walked its edge before the grass swallowed the stone.
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.
