What is recorded here

Two ancient earthworks touch like joined fingers, marking a place where people lived before written history. They stand in Ballyweely, County Down, as conjoined raths rather than separate markers. The shape suggests cooperation, defense or shared identity, although no surviving name explains the choice.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CONJOINED RATHS. 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.
