RATH in Tullymurry

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Tullymurry, County Down, Ireland, is a Rath, an ancient enclosure or defensive site, not a modern building or a temporary feature. The name and place are clear even when the visible shape has faded, because the land still carries the identity given to it. Such a Rath may have marked a boundary, a settlement, a ritual area or a local centre of power, and the distinction matters because it changes what the place means.
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.
