RATH in Iskymeadow

RATH

What is recorded here

Iskymeadow in County Armagh still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall or gate remains visible to mark its edge. The land may have worn the structure flat, or the structure may have never risen higher than a shallow ring of packed earth. Walk the meadow at dusk and imagine the shape beneath your feet: a small defended place, a household, a boundary drawn in soil before it was drawn on any map.
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.
