Mortars and walls build rath in Newtown, County Armagh. That much is clear. Whether men lived inside the circle or fled from it remains unknown. The stones still stand where human hands set them.
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.
