What is recorded here
Bivallate raths remain rare because most vanished under ploughs or property lines. Todd's Grove preserved its twin ditch in Duneight, County Down, likely marking a defended home or ritual boundary during the early Christian period. That much shape still stands where lesser earthworks disappeared.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH: TODD'S GROVE. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
