RAISED RATH WITH Man-made underground passage: DUNBOY in Lemnagh More

RAISED RATH WITH Man-made underground passage: DUNBOY

What is recorded here

Lemnagh More in County Antrim holds a raised rath with a man-made dunboy passage, marked in the Christian era and protected as a scheduled ancient site. The earth work still stands where people shaped it, perhaps for shelter, ceremony or deferral, while the narrow passage invites curiosity about who entered and why. Its survival is not decoration but witness, preserving a human choice to build beneath and above the ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH WITH Man-made underground passage: DUNBOY. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
