What is recorded here
Clontaghnaglar holds a rath, an ancient earthwork still standing in County Down. Whether it guarded a family home, a seasonal camp or a boundary marker, the shape remains clear enough to read at dusk. The land remembered the hands that built it, and those hands disappeared into the longer dark.
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.
