What is recorded here
Mortars and machine guns carved Ballyhemlin into a killing field where men and women faced death at close range. The land still carries the shape of that battle, preserving the distance between chambers, the reach of fire, and the moments when ordinary life stopped.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Battle headquarters (DHR 00028:021). Recorded period: C20TH. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
