What is recorded here
Ballygowan in County Antrim, Ireland, marks a battle site from 108 AD during the Iron Age. The official record preserves only the date and kind, leaving the fighters, weapons and fate unknown. The land may still carry the shape of that clash, even though no name or event survives in the account.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE; 108 AD. Recorded period: IRON AGE. 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.
