What is recorded here
Fairy Hill in Carncoggy is an unlocated battle site and burial mound, leaving its exact position and period uncertain. The name suggests a place where human violence and fairy belief collided, perhaps marking a defeat so complete the living stopped speaking of it. A mound may still hold bones beneath grass, waiting for someone to stop running and listen.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE/ BURIAL MOUND: FAIRY HILL (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
