RATH in Coolsallagh

RATH

What is recorded here

Coolsallagh holds a rath, an earthen ring built before written history and still visible beside the town. The official record preserves only its name and kind, leaving the builders, defenders and daily lives behind the bank to imagination. That absence is not a flaw; it is the shape of the place. A rath is a boundary drawn by human hands, and the hole it left in memory is large enough to walk through.
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.
