Overview

History & significance

Marshalls town is a post-medieval settlement site located in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents a phase of settlement development in the early modern period following the establishment of the Anglo-Norman earldom and subsequent English colonial settlement in the region. Little detailed archaeological investigation has been formally published regarding the specific layout and material culture of the settlement, though its designation as a recorded monument indicates surviving physical evidence of its former occupation. The site's location within Carrickfergus, a strategically important town with continuous settlement from the medieval period onwards, situates Marshalls town within the broader context of early modern urban and proto-urban development in Ulster.
