What is recorded here

RATH stands in Meenan, County Down, a fortified place from the early Christian period. Stones may still mark the rampart where people watched the land, kept fire, and made choices under open sky. The name survives without explanation, which is why it remains alive: it still points to a local world that resisted forgetting.

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.
