What is recorded here
Minnit's Fort stands in Carricknaveagh, County Down, an earthwork from the early Christian period where local identity still circles a forgotten name. The Rath marker joins human memory to official record, preserving Minnit beside the land rather than burying the story beneath a number.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: MINNIT'S FORT. 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.
