What is recorded here
Dundrum, Cloghram and Ardilea still shadow the 1147 battle recorded for County Down. Steel clashed where fields and memory now meet. The men who bled there stopped being named in the moment the land took them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 1147. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; C12TH. 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.
