What is recorded here
Three thousand years of human life are buried beneath the quiet fields of Ballymagee. Bronze Age houses, Iron Age ditches, and post-medieval pits layer one another like sediment in a riverbed. Each generation built upon the last, creating a living archive where ancient hands still shape the earth.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Multi-period occupation site: Bronze Age house and associated structures; Iron Age ditch; post-medieval pits and and remnants of 18th century field system. 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.
