MEDIEVAL SQUARE EARTHWORK & FINDSPOT of NEOLITHIC FLINTS: CONEY ISLAND in Intake

MEDIEVAL SQUARE EARTHWORK & FINDSPOT of NEOLITHIC FLINTS: CONEY ISLAND

What is recorded here

Coney Island in Intake holds a medieval square earthwork where Neolithic flints still surface, proving the land has served human ambition across thousands of years. The sharp contrast between ancient chipped stone and later constructed geometry suggests people kept returning to this exact spot, perhaps marking it for trade, worship or defense long before written memory. What is clear is that the ground itself records repeated choice, with each era layering new purpose upon the last.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL SQUARE EARTHWORK & FINDSPOT of NEOLITHIC FLINTS: CONEY ISLAND. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC; MED/L.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.
