RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Ballyhomra, County Down, Ireland, holds an early Christian memory inside a ruined chamber. The chamber may have waited for a visitor who could hear music but never show a tune. That is the kind of place where human life still moves, even when no name remains to point at it.
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.
