What is recorded here
Lisnastrean in County Down, Ireland, marks a 1649 battle site where armed conflict scarred the land during the seventeenth century. The ground itself may still hold the shape of that violence, though no monument or name preserves the people who bled there. What is certain is only the date, the place and the kind of event; the rest belongs to imagination and time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 1649. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. 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.
