RATH reused as TREE RING: CLOVERHILL RATH in Carrowmacmea

RATH reused as TREE RING: CLOVERHILL RATH

What is recorded here

Cloverhill Rath in Carrowmacmea, County Fermanagh, is a rath reused as a tree ring, recorded from early Christian through modern times. The official point sits at the centre of the archaeological site, not at a house, gate or vanished marker. A ring made from a living tree may have grown around an older rath, absorbing its edge into wood and bark. If so, the boundary stopped being a line people drew and became a line the forest kept repeating.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH reused as TREE RING: CLOVERHILL RATH. Recorded period: MODERN; 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.
