RATH in Dunanney

RATH

What is recorded here

Dunanney holds a rath, which means a fort or defended place, though no surviving wall or ditch is recorded to show where the boundary ran. The name preserves the shape of the site rather than a visible ruin, leaving the true size and purpose uncertain. It may have been a household enclosure, a seasonal camp or a boundary marker for a local group.
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.
