What is recorded here
Enclosure in Ballyclogh South, County Antrim, possibly a bivallate rath, still holds its shape in the ground. Whether it guarded a home, a herd or a boundary is no longer certain. The double ring suggests a place serious enough to build twice, where people drew a line around what they wanted to keep safe.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE (possibly 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.
