RATH in Mullaghglass

RATH

What is recorded here

Mullaghglass in County Armagh still carries the name Rath, though no wall remains for a camera to catch. The site dates from the early Christian period, when a fortified camp or ceremonial ground may have stood before the land was forgotten. Its coordinates survive in an official record even if the soil has swallowed the boundary. That absence is not emptiness; it is a reminder that human life can vanish everywhere except the names others keep repeating.
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.
