What is recorded here
Mounds and passages mark Carrickastickan, yet no clear origin or purpose has emerged. The official list repeats its own name instead of explaining what the site contained. That vacancy is not a small failure. It removes the place from human memory and turns a lived landscape into an empty label.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
