This massive site is the headquarters of the British Army in Northern Ireland - occupying quite a substantial chunk of North Lisburn. It also cuts the Magheralave Road in two. It is home to the 38th (Irish) Brigade and the 19th Light Brigade. Set in an affluent and predominantly Unionist area, the base hasn't managed to escape republican attacks - one soldier was killed in a car bomb in 1996.
