Archaeology


At Antiville, in a marshy area beside a tributary of the River Larne, a rectangular house and souterrain were discovered enclosed by a shallow ditch cut through the peat with a slight bank on the inner side. Eventually this was interpreted, not as a ringfort enclosure, but a means of draining excess water from the site.[3] Radiocarbon dates from the supposed ringfort at Antiville were 544-644 AD and 695-936 AD.[4]
