What is recorded here
RATH is an ancient defensive enclosure in County Antrim, marked on official maps as a recorded archaeological site. Its earthworks still trace the boundary where people once lived, watched and resisted. The name preserves a local identity that predates modern borders, while the land keeps the shape of that forgotten purpose.
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.
