What is recorded here
Glasker in Glaskermore, County Down, is a post-medieval settlement where human life leaves behind only a faint shadow. The name itself suggests a place shaped by memory rather than monument, perhaps a cluster of homes, a field boundary, or a forgotten road junction. Whatever it was, it resisted erasure long enough to be recorded, which means people lived there, named it, and departed without apology.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Glasker. 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.
