What is recorded here

Parkgate Historic Settlement in Moyadam, County Antrim, dates from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, marking a period when human life clustered around that ground. The exact layout has faded, but the settlement name suggests a gateway or boundary, perhaps controlling entry to farmland, a estate or a travel route. People may have lived, worked and argued there before the land was forgotten, leaving behind only a point on a modern map.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Parkgate Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C17TH; C18TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
