What is recorded here

Cabragh Fort stands as a scheduled counterscarp rath in County Down, marked on official records from the early Christian period. Its earthworks suggest a defended home where people lived, argued, loved and raged against the endless Northern sky. The fort has watched centuries pass without complaint, keeping its shape while empires and languages came and went around it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH: CABRAGH 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.
