RATH in Derryclawan

RATH

What is recorded here

Derryclawan holds a Rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the land. The official record gives no further detail, but the shape implies a closed space where people gathered, worked or kept what mattered. That much is written. The rest belongs to imagination, able to populate the silence without claiming to know it.
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.
