What is recorded here
Ballyutoag holds an early Christian settlement site in County Antrim, marking a time when faith and daily life became one. The ground itself may have carried prayers, work and memory before any building remained. What is missing from sight may still be present in the shape of the place.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EARLY CHRISTIAN SETTLEMENT SITE (c.f. Ant 056:071). Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
