What is recorded here
RATH stands in Cappagh, County Down, a marked archaeological site rather than a named home or hall. The official record gives no date, no owner and no event, leaving the place open to imagination. It may have been a boundary marker, a gathering point or a forgotten dwelling, but the name alone resists that much invention.
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.
