Lissanduff Earthworks, Lissanduff Avenue, Portballintrae
Lissanduff earthworks consist of two sets of concentric ringed mounds of earth. This southern earthwork has a spring in the centre and known as the wet earthwork the northern one (behind us) is dry. The purpose of them is unknown but as always, pagan gatherings or rituals are prime candidates. The Causeway Coast Management Plan advises that 'One is clay lined and appears to have been designed specifically to hold water for what is presumed to have been water rituals. The other is a more typical lios or rath and would have served as a fortified settlement for people and animals. The site dates to the Bronze Age (3,000BC) and has yet to be fully understood or archaeologically excavated.'
