What is recorded here
Rectilinear earthwork in County Antrim, Ireland, possibly Rath-Cimbaeith, with uncertain period and unknown makers. Its straight edges and closed form suggest a boundary drawn deliberately rather than a hole dug for tools. It may have marked a home, a claim, a warning or a place of ceremony. The earth still holds the shape even though the names and events have thinned out of memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RECTILINEAR EARTHWORK - Possibly Rath-Cimbaeith. 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.
