RATH in Lisnataylor

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH stands in Lisnataylor, County Antrim, an earthen fort from the early Christian period. The local name suggests a row of houses clustered near its ramparts, perhaps a small settlement thriving beside the defensible earthworks. People may have lived, traded and resisted within that circle, their ordinary days shaped by the height and protection of the ancient bank.
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.
