What is recorded here

Skillen's Pipe in Ballyrenan, County Down, is a recorded Bronze Age settlement site where human life may have clustered around water, fire or trade. The name suggests a local memory of a pipe, a person or a shape in the land, yet no clear event survives in the provided facts. What is certain is that the place was recognised as ancient before modern maps fixed its point.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT SITE: SKILLEN'S PIPE. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
