What is recorded here

Moneymore stands in County Derry as a historic settlement spanning post-medieval and modern centuries, its identity preserved in official records rather than lost to time. The name itself hints at ambition or abundance, perhaps a family proud of wealth or a community that measured success in coin. Whatever the origin, the settlement endured long enough to enter the historical record, suggesting stable life, repeated occupation, and human continuity across generations.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HISTORIC SETTLEMENT: MONEYMORE. Recorded period: MODERN; 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.
