What is recorded here

White Fort in Drumaroad, County Down, holds a man-made passage beneath a house, marking human ingenuity across the E.CHRIST.. period. The official record protects this unusual cashel because it reveals how people shaped local stone into hidden space. That much is clear. What is missing is the identity of the diggers, the reason for the passage, and the life that moved through it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASHEL with HOUSE & Man-made underground passage: WHITE FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
