What is recorded here

Ashfield/Gowdystown marks a post-medieval settlement in Tullymacarath, County Down. It is not a grand castle or a famous battle site. It is the kind of place where ordinary life happened, where families worked the land and built homes that time has mostly taken back. The name survives, the location is known, and the settlement remains part of the regional record.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Ashfield/Gowdystown Historic Settlement. Recorded period: POST-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.
