What is recorded here
Ballycarrickmaddy holds a rath, an ancient earthwork that has watched the County Antrim sky since before human memory. The soil itself remembers the weight of hands that built it and the feet that circled it at dawn. What is forgotten in ledgers is still written in the shape of the land, waiting for someone to walk its ridge and hear the quiet voice of time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. 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.
