What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the platform rath in Ballykennedy, County Antrim. It stands as a shaped earthwork, not a hidden fantasy. The local name and map point leave the place clear. What is missing is not the truth but the detail, and that is where human memory must finish the job.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM 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.
