What is recorded here

Drumbroneth holds a rath, an ancient earthwork scheduled for protection in County Down. The official record offers no further detail, leaving the site to imagine. A rath is a fortress, a boundary, a place where people drew a line around what they valued. That much is certain even when the history has gone quiet.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
