Rathmeelaghmore

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Rathmeelaghmore is an early medieval rath on a natural knoll at the north-western edge of Rathowen East, County Mayo, where three townland boundaries converge. The earthen bank and outer ditch are worn but still visible at the north, while the raised ground itself did much of the defensive work. Its name appeared on Ordnance Survey maps from 1838 to 1929, suggesting the place remained legible in the local landscape across nearly a century.
Rathmeelaghmore is recorded as a archaeological place in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
