Range boundary sign mounting - a photo on Flickriver

            In the hills above Belfast on Divis is a disused 600 yard military firing range, constructed in 1943 most likely to accommodate training for the high numbers of American troops in the country. A copy of the standing orders still exist, giving an overview of the classification and type of activities the range was licensed for. 

It is understood that the range was used until the 1970s, and the newly formed Ulster Defence Regiment is known to have used the area. As the security situation deteriorated, it was likely that remote ranges such as this were abandoned in favour of more secure training centres such as those at Ballykinlar (County Down) and Magilligan (County Londonderry).
