RATH in Moneypatrick

RATH

What is recorded here

Moneypatrick still holds the buried line of a Rath, an ancient enclosure whose boundary may have cut through fields now forgotten. The name preserves a shape no longer visible, perhaps a bank, ditch or circular home that people walked past before roads and ownership changed the land.
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.
