What is recorded here
RATH in Crosshill, County Antrim, is an ancient enclosed place, not a modern invention. The official record calls it a rath, a boundary drawn around human life before written memory. It may have held a farm, a festival or a family that resisted forgetting. The land still carries the shape of that choice.
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.
