RATH

What is recorded here

RATH is a recorded archaeological site in Tonaghmore, County Down, listed for the early Christian period. The official point marks the centre of that buried place, not a modern building or invented landmark. Whatever lived there has stopped making noise, yet the name still forces the land to remember the shape of what is gone.
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.
