What is recorded here

Antrim and Newtownabbey now govern the region, but the old boundary still shadows the town. John de Courcy and his Anglo-Norman followers took the land in the late 12th century, then built a motte-and-bailey castle whose earthwork remains in Antrim Castle Gardens. Before them, Dál Araide kings lived at Rathmore, and monks may have occupied the lone house that gave the place its name. The settlement is a stack of those claims, each one buried beneath the next.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as SETTLEMENT - BOOLEY HUTS & FIELD BOUNDARIES. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
