What is recorded here
NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT - HOUSES AND PALISADED ENCLOSURE stands in County Derry, Ireland, preserving ancient domestic life within a defined boundary. People built homes and erected a palisade there during the NEOLITHIC period, creating a protected space for daily existence. The palisade suggests caution or identity, while the houses suggest continuity. Together they reveal that ancient people shaped the landscape rather than merely occupying it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT - HOUSES AND PALISADED ENCLOSURE. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; 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.
