What is recorded here
Castle Field in Rathmore held a church, graveyard and castle during the medieval period, making it a crowded centre of local life. People likely worshipped, buried their dead and defended the area within the same small landscape. The field itself may have recorded more human activity than any written account survives.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Site of CHURCH; GRAVEYARD & CASTLE: RATHMORE or CASTLE FIELD. Recorded period: MED/L.MED. 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.
