What is recorded here
Kinglass still holds the buried line of a lost rath, maybe a fence for people or a boundary for gods. That much is clear from the name and place. What is missing is the life inside it: whether it was a farm, a temple, a children's game or a border drawn in earth. The land remembers the shape even when the story has left it.
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.
