What is recorded here
Circular enclosure: possible rath in Clough, County Down, Ireland. Uncertain period. A round boundary still stands where human hands may have drawn a circle for residence, ritual or exclusion. The exact meaning has faded, but the shape remains clear enough to suggest that people once believed a line could separate inside from outside.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Circular enclosure: possible rath. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
