What is recorded here
Booley sites scatter across Antrim like forgotten buttons on a coat, small enough to miss and old enough to remember. A.P. SITE remains one of them, a deserted settlement marked without certainty on the official record. Its exact age and identity have slipped away, leaving behind a point on a map and a shape in the field. What is known is that people lived there, departed, and allowed the land to take back most of the story.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as A.P. SITE - DESERTED SETTLEMENT (booley site?). 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.
