What is recorded here
Derrykeighan Historic Settlement in County Antrim dates from the eighteenth or nineteenth century. The name Derrykeighan suggests a fortified or enclosed place, though no standing wall remains visible in the public record. People may have lived, worked and argued inside that boundary before the land was forgotten.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Derrykeighan Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. 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.
