What is recorded here
Mud, memory and the buried shape of a room still warm beneath the grass. A raised rath stands in Jordanstown, County Antrim, with an underground passage cutting through its base. The chamber may have hidden people, tools or breath during storms. Its location remains uncertain, but the shape is clear enough to imagine the dark room waiting beneath the hill.
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.
