RATH in Lismurphy

RATH

What is recorded here

Lismurphy in County Derry, Ireland holds a rath, an earthwork so old it predates Christian time. Its exact shape has faded from human memory, but the land still carries the weight of hands that built it. A rath is not a ruin; it is a boundary drawn by living people. It may have guarded a home, a herd or a sacred claim. The soil remembers what tongues have forgotten.
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.
