What is recorded here
Mud and memory still mark the rath in Ballyhill Lower. A circle of earth may have stood where grass grows now, enclosing a home, a yard or a small life in County Antrim. People may have born, argued, buried and forgotten inside that ring. The land keeps what testimony has left behind.
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.
