AP Cropmark- Possible rath at "Three Forth's Hill" in Ballyfinragh

AP Cropmark- Possible rath at "Three Forth's Hill"

What is recorded here

Three Forth's Hill in Ballyfinragh, County Down, may hide a rath beneath its soil. The uncertain period leaves the hill open to imagination, perhaps a boundary marker, a seasonal camp or a forgotten dwelling. Its name suggests distance, repetition and direction, as if people measured the landscape in thirds rather than feet. The hill may have been a place for watching, waiting or remembering long before it became a point on a map.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as AP Cropmark- Possible rath at "Three Forth's Hill". Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
