RATH in Doon

RATH

What is recorded here

Doon holds a discarded Rath, a circular boundary drawn in earth rather than stone. It is no longer visible, yet it is still listed and protected. The land may have swallowed the hedge, the ditch or the wall that marked human claim. Doon keeps the shape of what disappeared.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
