What is recorded here
Markethill Historic Settlement occupied Coolmillish during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, long before modern boundaries divided the island. People likely gathered there to trade, worship or resist, leaving behind only the faint shape of a place rather than a grand monument. The land remembers what written history forgets, holding the heat of hands that shaped it and the breath of voices now lost.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Markethill Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C16TH; C17TH. 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.
