What is recorded here
Mortars and memories collide when a new build cuts through an old rath. A rath is a living record of the people who shaped it. To destroy a rath is to erase a chapter of human history.
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.
