What is recorded here
Platform rath in Ballymoneymore, County Antrim: a made height, not a buried one. People built upward, perhaps to see farther, be seen, or keep rain and danger at a distance. The flat top and rising edge suggest pride as much as defence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. 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.
