What is recorded here
Stone-faced rath in Ballymoney, County Down. A ring of stones, not a castle of gentlemen. The face is the warning: entry requires seeing what the owner wants recorded. Rath means a held place, not a dead place. The stones are still placing their boundary.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE-FACED 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.
