What is recorded here

CounterScarp Rath stands in Lisnatierny, County Down, an earthwork so old it predates Christian time. Its ridge still cuts the land like a forgotten knife, waiting for hands rough enough to feel its shape.

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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
