What is recorded here
MOUND is a raised rath in County Antrim, marked as scheduled but still wrapped in uncertainty. It stands as a bare earth scar, perhaps hiding a chamber, a boundary or a forgotten home. The land may have swallowed the truth, yet the shape remains visible enough to protect.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - RAISED RATH?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A raised rath, likely dating to the Early Medieval period (c. 5th–10th century AD), representing a type of ringfort associated with agricultural and domestic life in ancient Ireland. Its scheduled protection indicates archaeological importance, though specific historical significance remains undocumented.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
