RATH in Ardees Upper

RATH

What is recorded here

Ardees Upper holds a rath, an earthwork so old it belongs to every century at once. The official record offers no more than a name and a point on a map, yet that vacancy is not poverty; it is an invitation. A rath is a boundary drawn by human hands, a circle of exclusion and protection, and the absence of detail forces imagination to complete what measurement cannot.
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.
