What is recorded here
Breezemount rises in County Antrim as a mound or rath, holding an uncertain age but a clear shape. Troopercs may have drilled beside it or riders may have circled it like beads on a string. The wind still moves across the top, making the boundary between land and sky disappear for a moment.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND? OR RATH?: BREEZEMOUNT, TROOPERS' LAND. 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.
