What is recorded here

Rathoma is a Mayo townland named for a ringfort, meaning the earthwork was once large enough to define the place. The name still points to a circular enclosure built for a family, its animals and daily work during the early medieval period. The field may have changed, but the rath gave the townland its identity and remains the reason the area is still known.

Rathoma is recorded as a archaeological place in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
