What is recorded here
A small island off Ballymoney held a medieval settlement, compact enough to fit inside a single breath but persistent enough to leave marks behind. People may have fished, prayed, argued or loved there before the sea took back their names. The island still exists, waiting for someone to imagine the shape of the lives it swallowed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENT on ISLAND. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; LATE-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.
