What is recorded here
Rough Fort in County Down remains a well-preserved unexcavated rath, its high circular centre surrounded by ditches and a causeway despite recent houses appearing nearby. A previous owner foresaw development and placed the site in State Care, securing it from loss. The fort still stands as an attractive, inhabited-looking relic of County Down’s deeper past.
Rough Fort is recorded as a archaeological place in County Down. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
