What is recorded here
One of a rare paired rath in County Antrim, it stands as a deliberate echo rather than a lonely hill. The chamber fits a human body, yet no skeleton has appeared. That absence turns the platform into a waiting room, preserving the shape of the person who first measured it with their own skin.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH - ONE OF A PAIR WITH ANT 050:059. 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.
