What is recorded here
A.P. SITE is a circular cropmark in County Antrim, Ireland, recorded as a possible bivallate rath, with no certain date or named event attached to it. The ground may still hold two buried banks, while the living surface gives them up only when drought or rain draws a pale circle through the grass. Whatever hands built it, they made a place for returning, and the field has kept that shape long enough to become a marker in its own right.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as A.P. SITE - circular cropmarks - Bivallate Rath?. Recorded period: 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.
