RATH in Drum

RATH

What is recorded here

Drum holds a rath, a circular fort standing in County Derry since before written history. Stone and earth may have shaped its ridge, while people moved through it with fire, fear and ordinary life. The name survives even when the shape fades, reminding that Drum was not empty before memory began.
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.
