What is recorded here
Allisonstown in County Antrim holds a rath, an earthen ring where people lived before written records. The earth still marks the boundary of that lost home, waiting for footsteps and memory to return.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: ALLISONSTOWN. 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.
