What is recorded here
Drumhorc holds a rath, an earthwork so old it belongs to no single human life. It stands in County Down as a rounded boundary between fields and memory. People may have circled it, feared it or forgotten it entirely. The clay still keeps the shape of hands that left no name.
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.
