What is recorded here

Ballywoolen holds a scheduled prehistoric settlement where Bronze Age and Neolithic people lived among sandhills. They shaped temporary homes, fired clay, and read the shifting dunes for safety. The site still belongs to everyone because so much human life disappeared into its quiet earth.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PREHISTORIC SANDHILLS SETTLEMENT SITE. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC; NEOLITHIC. 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.
