What is recorded here
Magheraberry Historic Settlement occupied County Antrim through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, marking a continuous human presence long before modern boundaries drew their sharp lines. The earth there still holds the shape of hands that worked it, perhaps baking bread, planting oats or children chasing each other past doors now gone. What remains is not a ruin but a ghost of routine, ordinary life repeated until it became landscape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Magheraberry Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. 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.
