Six Defenders bled into the Visean limestone while hundreds of Peep o' Day boys watched from the northern hill, turning a minor crossroads into the birthplace of the Orange Order. The Diamond still sits halfway between Loughgall and Portadown, marking the moment sectarian competition over linen and land hardened into a permanent identity.

Battle of the Diamond is recorded as a battlefield in County Armagh. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
