It is proposed to construct six fishermen’s cottages on Rathlin Island, Co. Antrim. An archaeological evaluation of the site has been conducted. This revealed an archaeological layer concentrated beside the boundary with St Thomas’ Church of Ireland, which contained articulated and disarticulated human remains. It has been agreed that no construction will be conducted within this area. It is recommended that the full extent of the archaeological layer be established and subsequently fenced off for future protection.
