RATH in Cromkill

RATH

What is recorded here

Cromkill in County Antrim holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the landscape. The name survives even though the shape may have blurred under grass and time. A rath is a made place, built by hands and repeated in memory, suggesting that Cromkill was never empty but lived with purpose.
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.
