It is situated in the civil parish of Tickmacrevan and the historic barony of Glenarm Lower.[2] The townland contains a Wedge tomb (Giant’s Grave) registered as a Scheduled Historic Monument at grid ref: D3161 1082.[3] The wedge tomb is set in a long cairn aligned south-west/north-east, with a single large burial chamber and small antechamber. The antechamber has a straight stone facade and the burial chamber is formed from a number of large stones, with one lintel stone in place. There is an outer kerb of closely spaced boulders (with over 25 stones in place)[4] and the space between the kerb and the burial chamber is filled with cairn material.[5] See also
