What is recorded here
Moydalgan still holds a Rath, an ancient enclosed place marked on the official map in County Down. The name preserves a boundary drawn before written record, perhaps a farmstead, refuge or ritual ground whose walls disappeared under grass and time.
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.
