What is recorded here
Carnearny in County Antrim, Ireland, marked a battle site in 913 AD. Whether men charged through grass or retreated before darkness, the ground remembers the shape of fear and fury. That much is certain. The rest belongs to imagination, which is not the same as certainty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE; 913 AD. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
