What is recorded here
Beneath Carrickfergus, walls and pits wait inside a forgotten urban shape. They may stretch back through the medieval age, though post-medieval hands certainly shaped them. The town above has buried the boundary between then and now, forcing every assumption about time to waver.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Urban occupation site consisting of walls, ditch and pits (Post-medieval & possibly medieval). Recorded period: POST-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.
