What is recorded here
Mcvickersland still holds RATH, a fortified place from the E.CHRIST. period in County Antrim. Its stones have watched fields, storms and forgotten roads for centuries. A person may have stood there at dusk, listening for danger or waiting for news. The name remains because the shape still matters.
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.
