What is recorded here
Boyle's Fort stands in Balloonigan, County Down, a rath marked across centuries rather than solved in a season. That much of the old world still lies under grass or memory may explain why the name remains vivid while the shape resists description.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: BOYLE'S FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
