What is recorded here
Unknown Townland holds a Mesolithic pit beside 19th century mill race and retting ponds. The pit predates the mills by centuries, while the ponds and race served later human industry. Both remain named only by kind and place, waiting for the stories their shapes withheld.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Mesolithic pit and 19th century mill race and retting ponds. Recorded period: MESOLITHIC. 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.
