RATH in Seavaghan

RATH

What is recorded here

Seavaghan in County Down holds a rath, an earthen fort born before Christian time and still standing beside the village. Its buried walls may have sheltered lovers, warriors or ordinary families, while men and women walked past the ridge without knowing history watched them back.
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.
