Jeff. I have finally found the location. (I have passed by many times but on a "lower" road. I never knew there was a "deserted" hamlet there.) The nearest main roads are:- (1) The A43, running from Ballymena to Glenariff, (via Martinstown). (2) The A2 - main Antrim Coast road. There seem to be some "minor" roads close by , but I would not know how assessable they would be by car. If you open "Google Maps". Type in 55.053628, -5.981425 in the "search" box. This will give you the location of the hamlet and also the roads / paths close by. (Unfortunately Google Earth is not clear for this area.) SammyM
