What is recorded here
Drumanduff holds a rath, an earthwork built by human hands in County Antrim. The official record names it RATH and marks its centre on a map, but it does not say when the stones were carried or whose children ran inside the bank. A rath is not a dot; it is a boundary drawn around daily life, likely marked by a gate, a garden or a field that no longer answers to a modern name. The survey reduced that life to a point, yet the point still presses against the landscape like a forgotten claim.
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.
