RATH in Lisnaward

Lisnaward still holds the broken circle of a Rath, an ancient enclosure marked only as early Christian in the official record. The stones may have ringed a household, a shrine or a boundary, but the absence of a precise date preserves the mystery rather than solving it. A Rath is not a vague dot on a map; it is a shape made by repeated human choice, likely visible across the local landscape and important enough to be remembered long after its builders disappeared.
