What is recorded here
Broughanlea in County Antrim held a post-medieval salt working site active during the 18th century. The ground still carries the shape of that labour, marking a time when salt was worth extracting, carrying and risking life for its weight.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Post-medieval salt working site. Recorded period: C18TH. 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.
