What is recorded here
Stone Faced Rath stands in County Down as one of a matching pair, marked by stone rather than earth. It belongs to the Christian era and carries scheduled protection, though the exact years of its building have faded. The stones may have marked a home, a boundary or a warning, shaping the lives of people whose names no longer surface.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE FACED RATH - one of a pair with 051:051. 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.
