ENCLOSURE

ENCLOSURE, rath?

What is recorded here

ENCLOSURE is a rath in County Down, Ireland. Whether it is a buried fort, a boundary marker, or a name given to stolen land, the words point to one act: taking what was shared and drawing a line around it. That line may have been rope, hedge, law or violence. The chance to resist is to recognize the line, refuse its fiction and take back the life it excluded.
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.
