What is recorded here
Enclosure and field systems shaped County Antrim long before modern borders, perhaps forming a moated site where water defended hearth and habituation. Medieval hands may have cut ditches, raised banks and tied rooms to rain, tide or fear. The official point marks a possible structure, not a finished picture, yet the land still carries the shape of human choice.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE & FIELD SYSTEM - possible MOATED SITE. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: 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.
