What is recorded here
Ratoran still holds the buried line of a Rath, though no wall stands to mark it. A hidden fort or fence may have shaped the field before human memory faded. The land keeps its shape while witness departs.
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.
