RAISED RATH: DUNANNEY FORT or NANCY'S FORT

What is recorded here

Dunant Fort in County Antrim is a raised rath, an earthen ring that still stands where human hands first shaped the land. It may be Nancy's Fort, a name that suggests a person lived there, loved there, or was lost there. The fort is scheduled, meaning the state recognizes it as worth protecting. What is certain is that the earth remembers the shape of the people who made it, even when their names have faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH: DUNANNEY FORT or NANCY'S FORT. 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.
