What is recorded here
Ancient field boundaries and two round cairns mark a prehistoric landscape in Cross, Dunnyvadden. The rath and cairns suggest a settled place where people lived, buried their dead, and divided land long before written records.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ANCIENT FIELD SYSTEM; INCLUDING RATH; 2 ROUND CAIRNS (c.f. 038:008; 038:010; 038:011). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
