Servant's Hill : Settlement in Ballymagee

Servant's Hill : Settlement

What is recorded here

Servant's Hill in Ballymagee, County Down, marks a post-medieval settlement dating to the seventeenth century. The hilltop position suggests people chose visibility and drainage when building there. Whether they farmed, traded or fled trouble, they shaped the land with everyday labour. The name itself hints at a local memory of service, labour or dependence, though the exact relationship is no longer recorded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Servant's Hill : Settlement. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. 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.
