RATH reused as TREE RING in Thomastown

RATH reused as TREE RING

What is recorded here

Mortars and beams from the old rath were cut into a living tree ring, joining human and plant time in one structure. The chamber stopped being a boundary and became a measure of growth, years made visible through wood rather than stone. People could walk inside an idea of patience, watching the building breathe through seasons instead of resisting them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH reused as TREE RING. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MODERN. 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.
