What is recorded here
Ballynagard holds a ship graffito cut during the eighteenth or nineteenth century, marking a moment when maritime identity reached inland stone. The vessel may have carried trade, memory, or rebellion, yet its shape still points toward water though no harbour remains nearby.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Ship graffito. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. 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.
