What is recorded here
Beneath the ordinary surface of Scotch Street lie layered remains stretching from prehistoric life through early Christian burial to medieval settlement. The ground itself becomes a timeline, marking human presence across centuries rather than a single moment. What is forgotten above ground continues beneath it, waiting for patience and care to reveal its shape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PREHISTORIC OCCUPATION SITE, EARLY CHRISTIAN GRAVEYARD & MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENT : NO.16, SCOTCH ST.. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL; LATE-MED. 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.
