What is recorded here
County Antrim, Ireland. A rectangular enclosure, possibly a bawn, waits beneath the grass, its borders drawn by human hands across centuries. The shape suggests a household, a boundary, a claim made visible in earth and stone. Whether it excluded strangers or protected life, the angle of its lines still answers the intention of the people who built it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as A.P. SITE - RECTANGULAR ENCLOSURE, possibly Bawn.. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; POST-MED. 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.
