What is recorded here
Glenarm Historic Settlement in County Antrim has occupied the same ground since the Middle Ages, meaning people lived, argued, buried or played there long before modern roads arrived. The site spans the medieval, post-medieval and seventeenth-century periods, suggesting continuity rather than a single dramatic event. Perhaps children chased dogs past stone walls while adults argued about tide times or tax collectors. That ordinary repetition is what made the place worthy of recording.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Glenarm Historic Settlement. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; POST-MED; C17TH. 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.
