RATH in Kilcreevy Otra

RATH

What is recorded here

Kilcreevy Otra holds a rath, an earthwork so old it predates Christian writing. Stone and soil may have circled a home, a shrine or a boundary marker, while people moved through valleys now forgotten. The shape still resists measurement, inviting imagination rather than certainty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
