What is recorded here

Ancient field walls, a rath and two round cairns still mark Cross, Deerfin and Dunnyvadden in County Antrim. The stones may have guided farms, festivals or burial long before written memory, while the rath stood as a small defended home or meeting place. People likely moved through this landscape with children, tools and fear of the dark, shaping life around what the land already provided.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ANCIENT FIELD SYSTEM; RATH; 2 ROUND CAIRNS (c.f. 038:008; 038:00; 038:010). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
