What is recorded here
Roughfort Historic Settlement in Craigarogan has occupied the same Antrim soil since medieval times, meaning people lived there long before written records arrived. The site continued through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, suggesting unbroken human presence across centuries of change. Stones, soil and memory belong together there, waiting for someone curious enough to sit with them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Roughfort Historic Settlement. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH; 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.
