What is recorded here
Enclosure and underground passage in Lisnamurrikin, County Antrim. Whether a rath or something else, the dug way beneath it suggests people moved through the land in more than one layer. The chamber may have hidden storage, shelter or ceremony, while the enclosure marked the boundary of a life still forgotten.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE (rath?) & Man-made underground passage. 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.
