What is recorded here
Craignageeragh in County Antrim holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the landscape. The official record preserves the name and kind without inventing a date, leaving the site open to imagination. A rath is not a vague ruin; it is a shaped place where people lived, defended or remembered.
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.
