What is recorded here
Dunsilly holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still traces the shape of human ambition. Whether it guarded a family, a herdsman or a forgotten king, the soil remembers the effort of building.
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.
