What is recorded here
Plunket's Fort stands in Quarter Cormick, County Down, a rath marked for the early Christian period. Whether it was a trading post, a hidden church or a family stronghold, the name suggests one household owned the hill and the hill owned the memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: PLUNKET'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.
