What is recorded here
One platform rath still stands in Dooey, County Down. It is an ancient earthwork, not a modern building, and it belongs to the long human occupation of that land. The official record preserves its shape and position without inventing a date or owner.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM 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.
