The Bann ( ir. An Bhanna ) is one of the longest rivers in Northern Ireland with a total length of 129 km .
The Upper Bann rises in the Morne Mountains in southern Northern Ireland and flows into Lough Neagh , the largest lake in the United Kingdom.
The Lower Bann leaves the lake to the north, passes Kilrea and flows into the Atlantic shortly after it has flowed through the town of Coleraine .
The intergovernmental Irish-Northern Irish authority Waterways Ireland is responsible for water law supervision and management .
On the banks of the Bann is the Craigs Dolmen and Mount Sandel is the oldest evidence of the settlement of Ireland.
