What is recorded here

Univallate Rath with sub-rectangular Annex in Carryduff, County Down, Ireland. A univallate rath is a circular earthwork ring, often with an inner chamber or annex, built in the early Christian period. The sub-rectangular annex suggests a separate functional space, perhaps for storage, ritual, or domestic use. Together they form a compact defensive or ceremonial site, typical of early medieval Irish settlement.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Univallate Rath with sub-rectangular Annex. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
