What is recorded here
Barnish holds a battle site marked only in official records, preserving a violent event lost to time. The land remembers what human memory forgot, saving the collision of armies beneath ordinary soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE (O.S. Memoir site). 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.
