What is recorded here
Craigs in County Antrim holds a medieval enclosure marked on the official map, preserving a boundary drawn long before modern roads or fields divided the land. The stones or earthworks may have excluded livestock, marked territory or kept out danger, but that much has faded. What remains is a shaped edge in the landscape, waiting for a person to walk its line and imagine the hands that made it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. 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.
