What is recorded here

Knockans in County Antrim holds a Neolithic settlement where Bronze Age and Early Christian hands also shaped the earth. People may have lived there across centuries, returning to the same soil for shelter, food or prayer. The site continues holding those repeated choices beneath the ground.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT SITE (with evidence of BRONZE AGE & EARLY CHRISTIAN activity). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE; E.CHRIST.. 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.
