Ballynoe (from Irish an Baile Nua 'the new settlement') is a 0.83 km2 (205 acres) settlement and townland south of Downpatrick in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the civil parish of Bright and historic barony of Lecale Upper.[1]

## Archaeology

[edit]

The main feature in the hamlet is Ballynoe stone circle, a late Neolithic to early Bronze age large circle of over fifty 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.[2]

## Transport

[edit]

Ballynoe railway station, on the Belfast and County Down Railway, opened on 8 July 1892, but finally closed on 16 January 1950.[3]
