Reference to a twelve acre field called 'Ballina-ghowl' in which large quantities of human remains were found supposedly a battlefield (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 64).
Unlocated burials within townland described by Carrigan as 'immediately to the north of Granston Manor (LA028-051), is a 12 acre field called Ballina-ghowl, where considerable quantities of human remains have been turned up, especially between two large bushes near the old public road. This was the battle-ground of the Oulthachs, or Ulstermen, and the O'Phelans, in 1156 or 1157' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 64)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
