What is recorded here
Deer Park still holds the buried line of a rath, an ancient fort whose boundary vanished under soil but never stopped shaping the land. The name survives in the official record while the shape waits beneath grass, waiting for rain or memory to reveal its edge.
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.
