TRADITIONAL FAIR SITE: REA or REAGH HILL in West Division

TRADITIONAL FAIR SITE: REA or REAGH HILL

What is recorded here

Rea or Reagh Hill in County Antrim marked a traditional fair site where people gathered before written records preserved the event. The hill itself did not need a building to become memorable because the repeated meeting gave the ground its shape. Goods, marriage talks, rivalry and seasonal food may have moved across that open land until the fair faded from memory. What remains is a place where human noise once outweighed the silence of the hill.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TRADITIONAL FAIR SITE: REA or REAGH HILL. 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.
