What is recorded here
Dunore Fort stands as a platform rath in County Antrim, carrying the local names Fort of Gold and Badger Fort. The earthworks suggest a defended residence where gold may have been stored or simply imagined, while badgers still cycle through the grass. It is a small, sharp place where human ambition and animal instinct share the same soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH: DUNORE FORT, FORT OF GOLD, BADGER FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
