What is recorded here
Mortons and Delarghs, the rath in Ballygawn stands as a raised earthwork from the early Christian period, still marked on the official map and protected by law. It is not a vague shadow or forgotten legend, but a recorded archaeological site in County Antrim. The land remembers the shape of human hands, even when the names and events have thinned into silence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH. 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.
