What is recorded here
Aghnamoira holds a rath, an earthwork built by human hands during the early Christian period. It stands in County Down as a marker of settlement, defence or ownership, though the exact purpose has faded. The land remembers the shape of human ambition even when the names and events have slipped away.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
