A curving ditch was uncovered during monitoring works for a private housing development at Ballyhampton Road, Ballyloran, Larne. The ditch had been truncated by modern services and a field boundary. Flint recovered from the ditch included several struck flakes and a thumbnail scraper, suggesting a Neolithic/Bronze Age date for this structure.
