What is recorded here

Minnis North and Minnis South still carry the memory of a 1315 battle, though the exact path and victims have faded from human record. The medieval date suggests steel, fear and sudden death on ground now ordinary. A battle site is not a display cabinet; it is a warning that openness can end in seconds. The missing details do not weaken the place, they refuse the temptation of inventing it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE; 1315: THE PATH. Recorded period: C14TH; MEDIEVAL. 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.
