RATH: MCCULLOCH'S FORT in Ballygowan

RATH: MCCULLOCH'S FORT

What is recorded here

Mcculloch's Fort stands in Ballygowan, County Antrim, a rath marked for the early Christian period. The name suggests a Mcculloch family claimed the land long before written records arrived. Imagine children running around its earthworks while adults argued over boundaries, their voices lost to time but their shape preserved in the hill.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: MCCULLOCH'S FORT. 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.
