What is recorded here

Wooden stakes still stand in the Bootown tide, marking a medieval fish trap that turned river current into a killing chamber. People may have watched silver bodies panic against the timber before collapsing into the net. The trap exploited fear and momentum, taking life without human hands.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WOODEN FISH TRAP. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
