What is recorded here
Mounthill in Altilevelly, Ballyrickard, Ballyvern, Beg and Browndod marked a 1315 battle site where medieval lives broke against the land. The date and place are clear even when the weapons, wounds and fates have faded from memory. Stone, soil and distance still hold the shape of that violence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE; 1315: BATTLE OF MOUNTHILL. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; C14TH. 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.
