What is recorded here
In Ballyvennaght, County Antrim, a possible rath stood until destruction removed its visible form. The loss may have erased walls, gates and every marker that once separated the field from the living world. What remains is an absent shape, waiting for memory to complete the outline the earth forgot.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE (possibly rath); destroyed. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
