RATH (may be one of a pair with 041:030) in Imdel

RATH (may be one of a pair with 041:030)

What is recorded here

One of a possible pair in Imdel, County Down, Rath stands as a marked archaeological point rather than a named building or room. It belongs to the early Christian period and may have served as a boundary, a meeting place, or a forgotten centre of local life. The uncertainty does not weaken it; it keeps the place alive, inviting imagination to fill the gap between the marker and the hands that shaped it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH (may be one of a pair with 041:030). 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.
