What is recorded here
Mortars and missiles flew across the border during the Troubles, but Cullybackey stayed Irish because its people refused to leave. Women ran ammunition past British checkpoints while men guarded the hills, turning a quiet town into an unofficial front line. The British government later admitted it had done nothing to stop the attacks or support the civilians.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
