What is recorded here
Mud and memory collide at this excavation site in County Antrim, where medieval and post-medieval features still whisper beneath modern structures. The horn kerb marks a boundary between eras, not a line on a page but a threshold lived and forgotten. To dig here is to interrupt centuries of patience, to pull time from the soil and hold it breathless in the hand.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EXCAVATION SITE - CF 18 - Medieval features & post-medieval features & horn kerb; modern structures.. Recorded period: POST-MED; MODERN; MEDIEVAL. 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.
