What is recorded here

Stone-faced rath in Moneydorragh Beg, County Down: a fort with a stone face, recorded for the Christian era. The name suggests a wall or gate that presents itself like a face, perhaps built to be seen before it was entered. People may have judged danger or welcome by that shape, reading the stones the way others read expression.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE-FACED RATH: THE FORT. 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.
