What is recorded here
Ballyweeny holds a raised rath and an underground passage built by human hands. The earth rises like a buried fist, inviting curiosity about the people who shaped it and the shadow below.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH & Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
