What is recorded here
GoBBin's Fort in Ballyryland stands as a raised rath in County Antrim, Ireland. The earthwork still marks the landscape despite the absence of a clear human date or named event. Its shape suggests people once built, defended or occupied the ground before memory faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH: GOBBIN'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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
