What is recorded here

RATH in Goward, County Down, Ireland, is a rath, an ancient fortified place marked on the official map. The name itself carries the shape of a boundary, a defended threshold where human life may have clustered, hidden or raged. Goward gives the rath its region, while County Down gives it its wider world. What is missing is not emptiness; it is an invitation to hear the place through what it still resists forgetting.

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.
