What is recorded here

Ballycarry Historic Settlement in Forthill, County Antrim, dates from the post-medieval period into the seventeenth century. It is not a castle or temple, but a human place, likely residential or agricultural, where ordinary life produced the remains now recorded. The name Ballycarry may suggest a townland or settlement identity, though no unique event is recorded here. What is certain is that people lived, worked and left traces in this part of Antrim before modern maps existed.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Ballycarry Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C17TH; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
