What is recorded here
Battle field near Caw, County Derry, around 1200. Steel clashed on ground now quiet, men fell or fled, and witness memory may have shaped the story passed down. The earth kept the shock long after the fighters disappeared.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, C.1200. Recorded period: C13TH; MEDIEVAL. 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.
