What is recorded here
Augustinian monks built Muckamore during the medieval era, creating a priory where prayer and daily labour intertwined. The site remains under State Care in County Antrim, preserving the earthly remains of that religious community. Whatever chambers they occupied have vanished, but the ground still holds the shape of their presence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as AUGUSTINIAN PRIORY SITE. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. Recorded protection: State Care. 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.
