What is recorded here
Mortars flew over Ballymaganlis during the English Civil War, striking the rampart until men abandoned the place and fled into the dark. The counterScarp rath stands empty in County Down, preserving the moment human arrogance met mathematical certainty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. 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.
