What is recorded here

Monteith stands in Tullintanvally, County Down, as a post-medieval settlement marked only by a single point on an official map. That bare dot hides rooms, fires and voices now lost, yet the land still holds the shape of hands that built there. People may have lived beside water, traded news or simply endured winter in small wooden walls. The name survives without explanation, forcing imagination to fill the gap left by silence.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Monteith. 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.
