What is recorded here
Muff still holds Eglinton, a post-medieval settlement where human life clustered before modern boundaries drew their sharp lines. The land may have fed families, witnessed storms or forgotten festivals, yet no exact date or named event survives to anchor the memory. What remains is a shape in County Derry, old enough to resist certainty and clear enough to be called home.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Eglinton. 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.
