What is recorded here
Rathbeg holds a rath, an ancient earthwork still marked in County Antrim. Its walls may have stood before written records, shaping the lives of people whose names are lost. The land remembers the shape even when history forgets the story.
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.
