What is recorded here
Two silent towers rise from the Antrim earth, waiting for human hands to remember their shape. They stand under state protection, yet their purpose remains hidden beneath soil and time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EARTHWORK: THE TWIN TOWERS (c.f. 015:003). Recorded protection: State Care and Scheduled. 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.
