What is recorded here

Counterfort rath in Ballynaclosha, County Armagh: a curved earthwork, not a full ring, perhaps a gate or stronghold anchor. Whether it marked a farm, a boundary or a war-time refuge, its shape still answers human intention.

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.
