BIVALLATE RATH: RED ROW in Kilpike

BIVALLATE RATH: RED ROW

What is recorded here

Kilpike holds a red row, a bivalate rath marked by two ridges that frame a hidden chamber. The earth may have shaken during its building, though no written account survives to confirm the violence. People likely walked the row at dawn, reading life and death in the red soil before entering the chamber. The land kept the shape long after the builders forgot the names they gave it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH: RED ROW. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
