RATH in Dromore

RATH

What is recorded here

Dromore holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the land. Whether it served as a fortress, a boundary marker, or a sacred enclosure, the shape itself preserves the choice made by the people who built it. The completion of that structure required judgment, labour and confidence that the result would outlast its makers.
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.
