Abstract:		 Rescue excavations were undertaken in 2000 at Portmuck, Islandmagee, Co Antrim, of a suite of features which have been dated on the basis of the artefactual evidence to between 1150 and 1500 AD. These included the remains of part of a sub-rectangular building with semicircular gables, irregular internal paving and an internal width of c 4.8m; two metalled surfaces; the collapse remnants of a possible boundary wall slumped into a ditch; a well/sump feature; a series of gullies/palisade trenches and a series of shallow, stone-filled ditches. It is suggested that the excavated remains at Portmuck are a small part of a larger rural settlement possibly associated with the ecclesiastical site 150m to the north. The lack of imported wares and presence of predominantly local pottery and domestic objects may indicate the low status of the inhabitants. Includes
