What is recorded here
Middle Division in County Antrim still holds a rath marked only as RATH. The name resists explanation, but the land remembers the shape of human life. A ring of soil, a buried gate or a forgotten boundary may have lived there before records appeared.
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.
