Tens of thousands of historical artefacts are undergoing meticulous recataloguing and repackaging at Northern Ireland’s archaeological storehouse. The state-of-the-art, climate-controlled facility in County Antrim recently doubled its capacity following a major refit.
While only a small proportion of items from archaeological digs reach public display, the rest are preserved and stored here. This centralised store was established by Stormont’s Historic Environment Division (HED), consolidating collections previously housed across the region.
