What is recorded here
RATH in Cleggan, County Antrim, is an earthwork from the early Christian period, preserving the shape of a boundary long after the hands that built it disappeared. The chamber of Cleggan still stands nearby, carrying the same name into living memory. A rath is a marker of pride and warning, a circle drawn around what a people valued enough to defend.
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.
