RATH in Craigs

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Craigs, County Antrim, Ireland, is an earthwork from the E.CHRIST.. period. The name itself is a claim: a fenced place, a boundary drawn in soil rather than stone. Under that thin definition lives a whole region of human thought. People measured distance, owned land, excluded others and marked the edge of the known world. The earthwork is no longer a trivial detail. It is a boundary made visible, and boundaries are where identity begins.
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.
