What is recorded here
Lambs Island in Annaghanoon, County Down, still carries a platform rath marked in official records from the E.CHRIST.. period. The earth may have held people, gods or ordinary life before memory faded, while the sea kept the island separate and the sky watched it pass through centuries. What is certain is that the land remains scheduled and visible, waiting for someone to stand beside it and imagine the hands that shaped it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH: LAMBS ISLAND. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
