What is recorded here
Kilrea is a post-medieval settlement in County Derry, Ireland, where human life continued long after the middle ages ended. The name repeats itself because the place and its history are one and the same. People lived, worked and likely argued beneath that simple identity, leaving behind a settlement rather than a single dramatic event.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Kilrea. 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.
