RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Castletown, County Antrim, is a recorded hillfort from the early Christian period. Stone walls may have circled homes, temples or gathering places now lost beneath grass and time. The name still belongs to the field, waiting for someone to walk its hidden edge and remember what the stones once held.
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.
