FORTIFIED OUTCROP: DOONMORE in Ballygill North

FORTIFIED OUTCROP: DOONMORE

What is recorded here

Doonmore rises in Ballygill North as a fortified outcrop, catching breath and light before the valley below. Its stones belong to an uncertain span from prehistory through early Christianity, yet they still suggest people who watched roads, weather, or danger from height. The ridge may have served as shelter, boundary, or pride, depending on the season and the century.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED OUTCROP: DOONMORE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. 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.
