BATTLE SITE, 1689 in Inishfreda

BATTLE SITE, 1689

What is recorded here

Inishfreda in County Fermanagh, Ireland, became a battle site in 1689, a moment when ordinary land turned into a place of loss and memory. The ground may have shaken under boots, breathed with fear, or swallowed voices that never returned. What is certain is that the area carries a violent event from the seventeenth century, while what is absent is the personal story of the people caught inside it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 1689. Recorded period: C17TH; POST-MED. 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.
