What is recorded here
Cromie's Fort stands as a scheduled rath in Skeagh, County Down, preserving an earthwork from the early Christian period. The name suggests a person called Cromie may have lived there, though no written account survives to confirm it. A fort is a boundary drawn in soil, and boundaries require someone strong enough to hold them against the rain, the road and forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: CROMIE'S FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
