RATH in Ballymoney

RATH

What is recorded here

Mortars and concrete would choke the chamber, but RATH in Ballymoney still keeps its own shape, a round stone room set into the County Down earth. It is the kind of place where human hands worked long before written record, building a space large enough to gather, hide or worship. The stones do not explain themselves, yet they remain aligned against forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
