What is recorded here
Goodland in County Antrim holds layers of human life stretching from the Neolithic through post-medieval times, marked by ritual and settlement. The land itself remembers hands that shaped it across centuries, perhaps still warm beneath the grass. What was done there in darkness or dawn has no witness left, only the shape of the place to hint at the purpose.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTI-PERIOD SETTLEMENT SITE & NEOLITHIC RITUAL SITE: GOODLAND. Recorded period: LATE-MED; POST-MED; NEOLITHIC; E.CHRIST.; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
