RATH in Straidballymorris

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Straidballymorris, County Antrim, still stands as a local landmark, though the official record leaves its exact age and purpose unclear. The name suggests a fortified place or boundary marker, yet no date, owner or event is preserved beside it. A village may have formed around it, children may have chased dogs across its grass, and adults may have argued about whose land it touched. What is certain is that the site exists, that it is named, and that people once believed it worth remembering.
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.
