What is recorded here
RATH PAIR in Seacash, County Antrim, is an early Christian site where human hands shaped the earth long before modern borders drew their lines. The name itself suggests a pair of enclosures, perhaps one for living and one for dying, or one for people and one for gods. Such places rarely appear empty on old maps; they appear empty because the life inside them stopped leaving marks readable by later tools.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH PAIR. 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.
