What is recorded here
Stone faced rath stands in County Down as one of a pair, marked in the official record as a scheduled archaeological site from the early Christian period. Its stones still face the sky, waiting for the meaning of that pairing to emerge.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE FACED RATH - one of a pair with 051:050. 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.
