Mound - raised rath? is an uncertain mound located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, recorded in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record under monument identification number 3570. The designation reflects scholarly uncertainty regarding its interpretation, though the provisional identification as a raised rath suggests it may represent an early medieval fortified homestead, a common settlement form in Iron Age and early medieval Ireland. The physical form of the site, as a raised mound, is consistent with the earthwork construction typical of such monuments, though definitive dating and functional interpretation would require archaeological investigation. Without excavation or diagnostic surface finds, the precise chronological and cultural significance of this particular example remains undetermined.
