Ballycastle: Pans Rocks glassworks shore

BOTTLE DIGGING OPEN / LEGAL DOCUMENTED

Where: UK & Ireland · Europe · approx. 55.21, -6.22 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: Hugh Boyd's 18th-century industrial port: colliery, pottery, salt pans and a glassworks by the strand, the iron salt-pan relic at Pans Rocks still juts into the sea

What turns up: sea glass including old black glass, pottery sherds, coal from the collier trade

Access: Open / legal.

Surface sea glass on the public beach is fine; Northern Ireland law requires a licence to search for archaeological objects, so no digging or detecting for old material
