What is recorded here
One platform rath still stands in Budore, County Antrim, preserving the shape of a world that stopped speaking centuries before written record. Stone and soil may have held a hall, a boundary or a warning, yet human hands built the platform and lived beside it. The site remains scheduled, not forgotten, inviting wonder rather than certainty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH (part of rath complex). 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.
