What is recorded here
Ballymacaratty Beg holds a rath and a possible man-made underground passage, waiting beneath the grass for someone brave enough to crawl into its dark throat. The earth may have swallowed a chamber built by human hands, preserving a secret that sunlight forgot.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & possible Man-made underground passage. 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.
