Randalstown Historic Settlement in Ballygrooby

Randalstown Historic Settlement in Ballygrooby dates to the post-medieval seventeenth century, marking a time when local life reorganised around new boundaries and habits. The ground may have held crowded yards, temporary shelters or contested fields where ordinary people negotiated survival through seasons and change. Whatever structures vanished, the settlement name preserves the fact that people lived there deliberately rather than passing through.
