What is recorded here
An early Christian rath in Middle Division, County Antrim, likely marked a settlement or ritual centre before written history. Its earthworks may have stood where people gathered, worked or prayed, while the land around them changed and forgot the names of its keepers.
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.
