What is recorded here
Lisnasure holds a rath, an earthen ring built before christ and still standing in County Down. It is the kind of place where people made boundaries with soil because stone could be taken but a ring could be remembered. The field may have served farms, festivals or flight, yet the trench and bank remain clear enough to walk.
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.
