What is recorded here
Caha-na-Rio in County Antrim still carries the memory of kings colliding, though no exact date remains attached to the violence. The name itself suggests a boundary drawn in blood rather than stone, where proud men met and one line of descent broke. Perhaps the ground shook once and never forgot the weight of their chariots.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE: CAHA-NA-RIO or THE COMBAT OF KINGS. 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.
