The rath at the top of the Cregagh Glen, right at the edge of the city. Raths are also known as ringforts - and there are thought to be almost 50,000 of these in Ireland - some thought to date from the Iron Age. Wikipedia has a fairly thorough article, if you're interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringfort

Hi Louz. Glad you enjoyed the photo of the ringfort - my husband actually took this one - he knows a lot more about this sort of thing than I do. It does look kind of romantic though I think the purpose of these forts was extremely prosaic!
