ENCLOSURE

ENCLOSURE, rath? or tree ring?

What is recorded here

ENCLOSURE is a rath or tree ring in County Down, Ireland. It marks the moment shared land stopped being shared. People lost access, pride and maybe livelihood. The boundary line drew itself through lives as easily as it cut grass. What belongs to everyone can be taken from everyone. That is the danger hidden inside ownership.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - rath? or tree ring?. 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.
