What is recorded here
Kinghill in County Down, Ireland, holds a rath marked only as early Christian on official lists. That much is clear. The rest belongs to ghosts, memory and the life that built or abandoned the stones.
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.
