RATH in Ballyrickard Beg

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH stands in Ballyrickard Beg, County Antrim, a marked earthwork from the early Christian period. The name itself declares the function: a fortified dwelling or ceremonial centre where power and daily life collided. The land still holds the shape of that choice, waiting for a person to imagine the hands that built it.
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.
