History & significance

Enclosure & structure is an uncertain structure recorded in the townland of Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument is documented in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record under reference HED NI NISMR MonID 3327, though its precise chronological attribution and functional classification remain undetermined.

The structure's remains survive sufficiently to warrant formal recording within the archaeological heritage register, though further study would be required to clarify its significance and date.
