RATH in Mullanary

RATH

What is recorded here

Mullanary holds a rath, an ancient fortified place marked on the official map. The stones and earth have watched people come and go since before written records. Perhaps children ran inside its bounds or lovers met beside its edge. The official point captures only a dot when the life was a whole world of breath, noise and change.
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.
