What is recorded here
RATH stands in Ballymurphy, County Down, a fortified place marked on the official map but deprived of a visible identity. The name resists explanation, refusing to hand over its history or even its location without resistance. What is known is that it exists, that it is recorded, and that it withholds the rest.
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.
