Ballynoe (from Irish an Baile Núa 'the new settlement') is a small settlement and townland south of Downpatrick in County Down, Northern Ireland. The main feature of note is Ballynoe Stone Circle, a large circle of over 50 closely-spaced upright stones, surrounding a mound which, when excavated, was found to contain two cists in which cremated bones were found. The site is near the disused railway station, reached by a long footpath off the main road, at grid ref: J481404.[1]
Transport
- Ballynoe railway station, on the Belfast and County Down Railway, opened on 8 July 1892, but finally closed on 16 January 1950.[2]
