RATH in Lisnaward

RATH

What is recorded here

Lisnaward holds a rath, an earthen ring where people once drew a line between their lives and the open field. The boundary may have marked a home, a warning, or a promise, yet the stones and soil no longer speak in a language everyone understands. What is certain is that the land remembers the shape of human choice, even when the names and dates have 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.
