What is recorded here
Kilmore holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the landscape in County Down. Whether it served as a fortress, a boundary marker, or a sacred enclosure, the surviving name preserves the shape of human ambition long after the hands that built it disappeared.
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.
