What is recorded here
In County Antrim, a circular shadow appears in growing crops, perhaps marking a forgotten rath. The official record hedges with a question mark, admitting that certainty has vanished while the shape remains visible. Rain, root pressure or buried stone may draw the pattern into life each summer. The land remembers what human memory has lost.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as A.P. SITE - circular cropmark - rath?. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. 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.
