What is recorded here
Middle Neolithic people settled Glassdrummond before Early Bronze Age hands shaped burnt mounds and troughs beside the water. The place recorded both eras, suggesting a continuous human presence where fire, stone and settlement repeated across centuries. Whatever life moved through that ground, it returned often enough to leave layers rather than a single event.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Middle Neolithic settlement, Early Bronze Age burnt mounds and troughs. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Middle Neolithic settlement and Early Bronze Age burnt mounds and troughs; dates to approximately 3500–2000 BCE. The site reflects early agricultural activity and ritual or industrial use of heat, indicative of broader Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement patterns in the region.
