Historic Settlement Ballyalton in Ballynagross Lower

Historic Settlement Ballyalton

What is recorded here

Ballyalton stands in Ballynagross Lower as a post-medieval settlement marked only by a single point on the official map. That bare dot hides rooms, hearths and streets now lost beneath grass or memory. People may have lived there long enough to shape the land before forgetting their names. The settlement still belongs to County Down, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine what the dot contains.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Ballyalton. Recorded period: 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.
