What is recorded here

Rath Sithe in Rashee, County Antrim, has stood through early Christian and medieval times, its name shifting between Rashee and Rassci like a breath held too long. The church and graveyard still hold their stones, but the well at their heart drinks more than water; it takes memories and returns them changed. People may have prayed there, buried their dead, and forgotten why the place felt hungry. What is certain is that Rath Sithe remembers every name spoken over it, even the ones spoken to leave them behind.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPERIOD CHURCH & GRAVEYARD with WELL: RATH SITHE, RASHEE, or RASSCI. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL; 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.
