What is recorded here
Gallow's Hill in County Antrim, Ireland, remains a traditional execution site whose exact period and events have not survived. The name itself suggests a place where justice became brutal and public, yet no clear record explains who stood beneath the rope or why. It is possible the hill witnessed fear, anger or despair before being forgotten. What is certain is that the land still carries the shape of that loss.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as "Gallow's Hill" - Traditional execution site. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
