Around £90,000 was invested in the area, including the installation of a village clock and several enhancements to the Diamond area. These works were completed under the village renewal scheme.
The four-metre tall clock is located in the heart of the village on a steel column and sitting on a granite raised plinth.
The new look Diamond area includes new seating, paving, planting and ornamental railings which has significantly enhanced the area.

James Perry from Ahoghill Traders Association, said: "The redesign of the central Diamond in Ahoghill and the installation of the new clock will hopefully bring a new lease of life to the village.
"We're delighted with the design and its place in the very heart of the village.
"This focal point of the village will be enjoyed by locals and visitors for many years to come.
"Council has worked closely with the Traders' Association in the re-design of the area. It is hoped that this important initiative will encourage further commercial development in the centre of the village.
"This new feature compliments the other environmental features which the Ahoghill in Bloom volunteers have put in place.
"The village has enjoyed considerable success in both Ulster in Bloom and Britain in Bloom in recent years and this new feature further enhances the local environment."
This work comes as over £1.27 million is invested in 17 villages across Mid and East Antrim under the Village Renewal Programme.
