What is recorded here
RATH in Craigs, County Antrim, Ireland, marks a boundary drawn in earth before written history. People built a defensible ring where the land rose, then left the stones to rain and time. The name survives while the hands that shaped it disappeared, forcing imagination to complete what measurement stopped short of.
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.
