What is recorded here
Fortification and windmill marks Post-Medieval Carrickfergus, where defense and domestication collided. Stone walls held back threat while sails turned wind into flour, bread, life. One structure served fear and hunger at once.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFICATION & WINDMILL. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
