RATH in Legananny

RATH

What is recorded here

Legananny in County Down holds a rath, an earthwork so old it predates Christian record. Its boundary remains visible on the ground, marking a settlement or stronghold from a forgotten age. The soil remembers hands that built it and feet that walked it, even though human memory has slipped away.
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.
