What is recorded here
Drumbroneth holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the land in County Down. The name survives even when the shape fades, suggesting people once built a defensible home or held a field sacred enough to remember.
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.
