What is recorded here
Mud, fire and repeated choice built Upper Campsie before written memory existed. People returned there often enough to make a settlement rather than a passing camp. The land held food, water or safety worth preserving, and their hands shaped that promise into a place others could recognize.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Neolithic Settlement. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC. 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.
