BIVALLATE RATH in Caskum; Drumnahare

BIVALLATE RATH

What is recorded here

Drumnahare holds a bivaluate rath in County Down, an enclosed place from the early Christian period. Its two rings suggest more than a border; they suggest a threshold where people controlled entry, watched the land and kept what mattered safe. The stones may be gone, but the shape still works like a door, inviting imagination into the lives that turned it daily.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE 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.
