What is recorded here
Mosaic and Etruscan fragments still surface in Carrick soil, linking the quarter to trade routes older than Rome itself. The battle site dates to 951 AD, yet bronze weapons from a much earlier age sleep beneath the same ground. Time layers rather than ends here, preserving human ambition across centuries.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 951 AD, & FINDSPOT of 3 BRONZE SWORDS & A SPEAR (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.
