RATH in Tievecrom

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Tievecrom, County Armagh, is a recorded earthwork from the E.CHRIST.. period, preserved only as a point on an official map rather than a visible landmark. The name Rath suggests a fort or defended place, yet no wall, ditch or field boundary remains clear enough to confirm that shape. Whatever stood there has surrendered its edges to soil, memory and time, leaving behind a coordinate instead of a story.
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.
