What is recorded here
ENCLOSURE in County Down, Ireland may be a bivallate rath, yet the word also describes the human habit of drawing a line around shared life and calling the outside world waste. That contrast still breathes through the name: a place can be held, excluded, owned or remembered as a border made visible.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - BIVALLATE RATH?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. 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.
