What is recorded here
Mountnorris still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall remains for a modern hand to touch. The land may have worn smooth since the early Christian period, yet soil remembers the shape of every fence, gate and passing body it once carried. What is missing from sight has not disappeared; it has moved beneath the grass, waiting for patience, rain or dream to draw it back into the world.
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.
