RATH in Drumsough

RATH

What is recorded here

Drumsough still holds a Rath, an earthwork built by human hands before written record. It stands in County Antrim as a rounded boundary around forgotten life, perhaps a farmstead, perhaps a small stronghold. The land remembers the shape even when the name has faded.
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.
