CONTOUR FORT/EARTHWORK: SCRABO in Scrabo

CONTOUR FORT/EARTHWORK: SCRABO

What is recorded here

SCRABO is a contour fort hiding in plain sight on the County Down landscape. Its uncertain age and proposed protection suggest people shaped that ridge long before modern boundaries existed. The earth may still hold the pressure of hands that built it, waiting for someone to walk the ridge and remember what the stone forgot.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CONTOUR FORT/EARTHWORK: SCRABO. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Proposed for Scheduling. 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.
