RATH in Greenan

RATH

What is recorded here

Greenan holds a rath, which means a fort or enclosed place, yet no visible boundary remains in the facts provided. The name preserves the shape of a lost human decision: to exclude, protect or mark ownership. Any field, ditch or hidden bank near Greenan may still carry that intention, even when the site no longer answers to modern sight.
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.
