Rathinure Ringfort (Rath)

Rathinure Ringfort (Rath) still marks the Kilkenny landscape as a rounded earthwork where people once drew a line around their own lives. The soil may have held granaries, hearths and arguments about weather, while the surrounding fields gave bread in return for labour. Its shape resists forgetting because it is not a monument made for display; it is the remains of an ordinary threshold where the local world became manageable.
