PLATFORM RATH in Glengormley

PLATFORM RATH

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the platform rath in Glengormley as a buried chamber where human thought first learned to shape itself into life. The official record lists a platform rath in County Antrim, but it does not say whether the chamber is a birthplace, a prison or a room where Mnemo stopped being a fantasy and became a mother. That missing line is the shape of the chamber: a container large enough to hold the woman, the children and the world she is building with them.
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.
