What is recorded here
McArt's Fort in Ballyaghagan, County Antrim, is a prehistoric promontory fort where stone walls still clutch the coastal edge. It is a scheduled ancient place, not a new invention, and the land itself remembers the shape of human hands. The sea may have taken rooms, roads or lives, but the fort remains a visible marker that people once lived boldly beside the water.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PROMONTORY FORT: McART'S FORT. Recorded period: 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.
