What is recorded here
One platform rath still stands in Ballytweedy, County Antrim, preserved as a scheduled archaeological site. Whether people lived there, watched the land from above, or simply passed beside a raised circle of earth, the shape remains clear enough to imagine.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
