MOUND

MOUND, BARROW? or RAISED RATH?

What is recorded here

MOUND - BARROW? or RAISED RATH? in County Antrim, Ireland may be a burial place or a raised fort because no clear date or function has survived. That uncertainty does not weaken the site; it preserves the shape of human memory after detail has gone. People may have buried someone, defended a boundary, marked a boundary between fields or simply changed the land so it could be seen from a distance. The mound still performs one of those jobs because it remains visible and unnamed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - BARROW? or RAISED 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.
