What is recorded here
RATH in Moneybroom, County Antrim, is an abandoned defensive enclosure, a circular trap where human life once turned on the edge of the earth. The period remains unclear, but the purpose is written in the surviving shape. A person may have stood inside during a storm, listening for footsteps outside the bank, knowing the wall was the difference between continuing and disappearing.
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.
