What is recorded here
Cloughey in Slanes, County Down, is a post-medieval settlement where human life leaves marks rather than grand claims. The land may have held kitchens, arguments, births and burials, yet no unique name or date survives to identify them. What is certain is that people lived there after the medieval period and shaped the earth before memory faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Cloughey. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
