What is recorded here
Mortons and Foy's armies clashed near Rathpatrick, creating a bloody milestone on the Galmoy road. The land remains scarred by that sudden violence, preserving the shock of men broken by charge and cannon rather than quiet debate.
Situated just below a break in slope between a level plateau and lower valley area, in rolling grassland. A circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse (Wth 3.5m; D c. 0.4-0.5m). When inspected in 1987 much of the interior of the monument had been quarried.
