The Battle of Ballymacormick, fought on 14 March 1689 and more commonly known as the Break of Dromore, took place approximately one mile outside the town of Dromore in County Down, on the Milebush Road. The engagement was contested between Jacobite forces under the command of Richard Hamilton and the opposing Williamite forces. The Jacobites decisively routed their opponents, who fled in disorder from the field of battle.
The Williamite rout at Dromore was so complete that the fleeing forces left some 400 dead upon the field, and the Jacobite victory opened the road northwards entirely: following the Break of Dromore, Hamilton's forces met no further resistance as they advanced and occupied Belfast.
