What is recorded here

Ballymacaramery still holds a Rath, a fortified place from the early Christian period. It is not a vague dot on a map; it is a scheduled archaeological site in County Down. The land remembers the shape of human defence, pride and daily life, even when every wooden wall has rotted back into soil.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
