What is recorded here

Gracehill Historic Settlement in Ballykennedy, County Antrim, dates to the C18TH, when ordinary people likely built homes, worked land and lived through storms, births and deaths without warning later writers. The official map point sits at the centre of that recorded archaeological site, not above a grand hall or famous tower. A small settlement can hold more life than a castle because it belongs to neighbours, children and daily choice rather than one remembered name.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Gracehill Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C18TH. 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.
