What is recorded here
Milltown Historic Settlement in Derryaghy, County Antrim, dates from the eighteenth or nineteenth century. It is a recorded archaeological site, not a built museum, so its chambers and streets have vanished beneath grass and memory. The name suggests a mill, yet no mill remains visible. Perhaps water turned a wheel there once, driving stone or steel before the land took it back.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Milltown Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. 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.
