What is recorded here
Cushendun Historic Settlement occupied County Antrim during the eighteenth century, marking a period when human life clustered along the northern coast. The exact layout has faded, but the timing suggests a community busy enough to leave traces behind. Perhaps traders, fishermen or travellers used the place as a temporary anchor before continuing elsewhere. What is certain is that the settlement belonged to a busy century and still belongs to the landscape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Cushendun Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C18TH. 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.
