What is recorded here

The Trench in Connor is a revetted mound and boundary ditch dating from the thirteenth or fourteenth century, marked as a scheduled ancient site in County Antrim. It still stands as a deliberate line across the land, perhaps drawn to keep out invaders, contain herds, or separate one household from another. That simple earthwork outlived every hand that shaped it, waiting for someone to walk its edge and wonder what it excluded.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as REVETTED MOUND & BOUNDARY DITCH: THE TRENCH. Recorded period: C13TH; MEDIEVAL; C14TH. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Revetted mound and boundary ditch, dating to the 13th–14th century AD, associated with medieval defensive or territorial features. Its scheduled protection indicates archaeological importance, though specific cultural or ceremonial significance remains unclear.
