What is recorded here
Kilclief in County Down holds a possible structure from the fourteenth century, when medieval life shaped the land. The exact function remains unclear, but the site still marks a moment when human hands changed the local landscape. That much is certain even before the function becomes clear.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible STRUCTURE. Recorded period: C14TH; MEDIEVAL. 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.
