What is recorded here
Dunmall stands as a prehistoric promontory fort in Galboly Lower, its stones scheduled for protection long before modern borders divided the island. The sea may have touched its base at high tide, forcing inhabitants to read the water instead of waiting for rain. Its three names suggest a place remembered through loss, where identity itself became a border marker.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PROMONTORY FORT: DUNMALL or DUNMAUL or GARRON TOWER. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
