What is recorded here
Two conjoined raths stand in Corcreeghy, County Down, their joined earthworks forming a single unusual shape instead of separate circles. They date from the early Christian period and remain scheduled, meaning the land itself is still marked as worth protecting. The double form suggests two families, two functions or two claims sharing one boundary. Whatever they guarded, they guarded it together.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO CONJOINED RATHS. 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.
