What is recorded here
Taylor's Fort stands in Tullynewbane, County Antrim, a rath marked on official maps since early Christian times. The name suggests Taylor owned or built the fort, yet no record explains when or why. The earthwork still holds the shape of a boundary drawn in soil, waiting for a hand to trace its edge.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: TAYLOR'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.
