What is recorded here
Drumboe holds a platform rath and man-made underground passage, recorded for the Christian era in County Antrim. The distinction matters because a ridge may be natural while a cutting, chamber or directed entrance can indicate deliberate construction. People may have lived, hidden or marked territory there before written memory arrived. The ground still keeps that shape, waiting for eyes capable of reading it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH & Man-made underground passage. 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.
