Dunluce "New Town"

An archaeological excavation on land near Dunluce Castle has revealed a complete house on a site believed to be the village of Dunluce. The site is believed to contain a whole village and it is hoped that funds may be provided to enable further excavation. There are no "finds" from the site later than c1641 and it would appear that the village was abandoned at around that time and the Scottish Lowlanders who would have been the principle occupants went back across to Scotland.
