What is recorded here
Toome Historic Settlement in County Antrim dates to the medieval and seventeenth-century periods, marking a continuous human presence long before modern boundaries. The land likely held hearths, lanes and disputes now erased, while the official point preserves only the centre of what remained visible. People may have lived there through famine, trade and quiet routine, their names lost but their shape still embedded in the ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Toome Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C17TH; MED/L.MED. 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.
