What is recorded here
Carrickfergus is a historic settlement in County Antrim, Ireland, where human life continued from the Early Medieval period through the Post-Medieval era. The town has watched centuries pass along the same coast, absorbing trade, conflict and domestic routine into its stone and streets. It is not a sudden invention but a long accumulation of choices made by people who lived there, adapted there and left their marks behind.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement: Carrickfergus. Recorded period: EARLY MEDIEVAL; MEDIEVAL; LATE MEDIEVAL; POST-MEDIEVAL. 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.
