RATH in Dunalis Upper

RATH

What is recorded here

Dunalis Upper holds a rath, an ancient fortified place marked only as RATH in official records. The name sounds like a throat catching a breath, fitting for a hidden hilltop where people may have watched the sky or waited for danger. Its exact purpose has faded, but the shape remains: a boundary drawn in earth, still separating inside from outside.
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.
