Shell midden (Possibly medieval) in Drumahorgan

Shell midden (Possibly medieval)

What is recorded here

Drumahorgan holds a shell midden possibly dating to the medieval period, marking a place where people ate and discarded enough to leave a trace. The uncertainty about its exact age does not remove the clarity of human presence. Earth, hunger and time have covered the edge of that life, but the site still distinguishes itself from ordinary ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Shell midden (Possibly medieval). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
