What is recorded here
Coney Island in County Down held a post-medieval settlement, visible still only through the shape of its remains. The official record points to the centre of that site, leaving the rest to imagination. People may have lived there, worked there and left it behind before memory faded. What is certain is that the place existed, was settled and became history.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement. 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.
