What is recorded here
MOUND in County Antrim may be a raised rath, an early Christian ring of earth where people lived, prayed or fled when storms broke the fields. The designation still carries a question mark, so the boundary remains half-imagined and the interior half-remembered. Walk its edge at dusk and the uncertainty becomes a room: large enough for doubt, small enough for wonder.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - Raised Rath?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A raised rath, possibly dating to the Early Christian period; its significance is not clearly established due to limited recorded information.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
