What is recorded here

Rathmore Trench marks a raised platform and underground passage in County Antrim, preserving a place where people shaped the earth for entry, watchfulness or ritual. Its trench-cut form suggests deliberate construction rather than casual digging, perhaps separating an inner chamber from the open land above. The site remains scheduled, acknowledging that its ancient shape still belongs to everyone even when no longer inhabited.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED or PLATFORM RATH & Man-made underground passage: RATHMORE TRENCH. 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.
