What is recorded here

Cattherwood's Fort stands in Clontonakelly, County Down, a rounded earthwork from the early Christian period. It is the kind of place where people may have circled the ridge at dusk, reading weather and risk in the shape of the land. The fort does not need a hero or a date to feel alive. It keeps its own time, waiting for someone to walk its edge and remember that strength can be as simple as a raised line against the sky.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: CATHERWOOD'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.
