What is recorded here
Post holes in Ballymacoss still mark early medieval houses where timber frames once stood. The definition comes from the holes themselves, not from walls that time has taken back. People may have lived, argued, born and buried around those wooden joints before the earth forgot the shape of their rooms.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as early medieval post-defined houses. 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.
