What is recorded here
ENCLOSURE in County Down, Ireland is a rath or ring barrow, not a boundary line drawn by men. The facts supplied describe English enclosure law, not this place, so the chart must be judged incomplete rather than invented. What is known is that a human hand shaped earth there, and the shape still holds.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - rath? or ring barrow?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. 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.
