What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the anchor as a Rath in Ballynafoy, County Down. The name is clear even when the visible shape has faded. A rath is a made place, a boundary drawn by human hands around a life that no longer answers. The field may have lost its ridge, its gate and its marker. It has not lost the fact that people shaped it for living, watching, keeping or remembering.

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.
