What is recorded here
One platform rose above the Antrim fields, lifting a life or a dead person above the ordinary ground. That much is clear. The missing part is not a small gap. Without the shape, size and contents of the platform, the answer would invent the very thing the request refuses to fabricate.
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.
