What is recorded here
ENCLOSURE in County Down is where common land was taken and fenced, depriving people of ancient access while increasing the value of the soil for its owners. The act was called improvement, but it was also theft dressed in efficiency, forcing those who once walked freely to watch their own livelihood disappear behind a hedge.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - rath?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
