COUNTERSCARP RATH in Caskum

COUNTERSCARP RATH

What is recorded here

Caskum and counterwall, half-erased, the guardrail of a lost fortress. A rath is a room built around a life, and the counterwall is the part that watched the road. The name still points to the place even when the field has forgotten the shape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
