What is recorded here

Ballygalley in County Antrim holds a rare layer cake of human life: Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement, Early Christian kilns, and a man-made underground passage. The land remembers heat, hunger, worship and concealment across centuries. People may have built, baked, hidden or worshipped beneath the same soil, passing tools and stories through darkness.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Multi-Period occupation/settlement site: Neolithic and Bronze Age occupation/settlement site; Early Christian kilns and Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
