Antiville (from Irish : An Tigh Bhile, meaning 'The House of the Old Tree') [1] is a townland of 165 acres in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the civil parish of Larne and the historic barony of Glenarm Upper. [2]
At Antiville, in a marshy area beside a tributary of the River Larne, a rectangular house and souterrain were discovered enclosed by a shallow ditch cut through the peat with a slight bank on the inner side. Eventually this was interpreted, not as a ringfort enclosure, but a means of draining excess water from the site. [3] Radiocarbon dates from the supposed ringfort at Antiville were 544-644 AD and 695-936 AD. [4]
