What is recorded here
Mud, stone and time have built Tullyrusk Fort into a single living edge where ancient life and colonial ambition still touch. It stands in County Antrim as a scheduled site, carrying marks from the early Christian period and the seventeenth century. The land remembers both hands: one shaping a rath for daily prayer or defense, the other forcing a plantation fort into the same soil. To walk its edge is to feel history stop pretending it has layers; it has a pulse.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH & PLANTATION FORT: TULLYRUSK FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; C17TH. 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.
