What is recorded here
RATH in Killealy, County Antrim, is a registered ancient earthwork, not a modern building or hidden cache. The name and kind leave the shape unclear, but the area has long supported human life. Any claim that it contains a chamber, chamber pot or secret room is invention, not fact.
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.
