What is recorded here

RATH is a rath in Ballymurphy, County Down, Ireland. The name is all that is known, but a rath is not a vague word. It is a boundary drawn around a place important enough to separate from the land around it. Someone stood at that edge, watched the sky change, and remembered the shape of the ground.

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.
