Wreck in Unknown Townland

Wreck

What is recorded here

Unknown Townland, County Down: a post-medieval wreck lies buried beneath ordinary ground, waiting for rain or excavation to expose its bones. The sea may have claimed a trade route, a family name, or a whole year of lives before the land swallowed the evidence. What is lost there belongs to everyone who walks above it, carrying the weight of what the soil refuses to return.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Wreck. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
