COUNTERSCARP PLATFORM RATH in Duncrun

COUNTERSCARP PLATFORM RATH

What is recorded here

Counterfort walls and platform edges still mark the Duncrun rath, though no tower or door remains visible. The chance is that people lived beside this ridge, used its height to watch the land and returned to it across generations. What is certain is that the ground preserved the shape of human choice: a boundary drawn, a platform built, a place held important enough to remember.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP PLATFORM RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
