What is recorded here

Battle scar in Gortinure, County Derry, from 1094. The exact ground has been lost, but the date remains sharp: men bled there before maps learned to remember. Perhaps a field, a ford or a ridge; perhaps the earth still holds the shape of that violence.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 1094 (unlocated). Recorded period: E.C./MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
