What is recorded here
Two conjoined raths stand in Lisnabilla, County Antrim, their joined earthworks suggesting a single ambitious hand rather than a clumsy mistake. The official record leaves the builders unnamed and the dates open, yet the shape itself speaks: a place large enough to hold a feast, a fight or a festival, and unusual enough to be remembered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO CONJOINED RATHS. 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.
