What is recorded here
Dunaghy in County Antrim holds a raised rath, an ancient earthwork whose age remains uncertain but whose shape still marks the landscape. The site is scheduled for protection, acknowledging that human hands built and kept this place long before modern boundaries. It stands as a quiet reminder that Antrim was not empty when first imagined, but crowded with lives, decisions and memories now lost.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
