What is recorded here

Groomsport in County Down held a settlement from the post-medieval era into modern times. The official record marks the site as a historic place rather than an abandoned fantasy. People may have built homes, tended gardens or watched the coast from that same ground before the town took its present shape.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HISTORIC SETTLEMENT: GROOMSPORT. Recorded period: POST-MED; MODERN. 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.
