Braniel or The Braniel is a large housing estate and townland in southeast Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is in the barony of Castlereagh Upper and parish of Knockbreda in County Down.〔(The Place-names of Northern Ireland )〕 Two small estates, Roddens and Glenview, are located in the area, and are often referred to the Braniel. It is a predominantly Ulster loyalist/unionist area.
==History==
The name 'Braniel' comes from the Irish ''Broinngheal'' ("bright front")〔 or ''Bruach Uí Néill'' ("O'Neill's slope/bank").〔(The Gaelic Placenames of Belfast ). ULTACH Trust.〕 These likely refer to Braniel Hill.
The Entrance to the Braniel is via the Knock Road and the Ballygowan Road or through the Gilnahirk route. Nearby estates include Church Road (Rosewood, Rosemount, Gray Castle, Marlborough), Gilnahirk, Tullycarnet, Clarawood, Clonduff, Casaeldona and Cregagh. In 2001, a man was murdered on Ravenswood Park, at the end entering the Braniel Square. In 2008, a man was stabbed on Whincroft Road, one of the main roads into ''Braniel Square''. A 28-year-old man was then arrested and given bail following the event. On 13 March 2012, a man drove through the front of a house on Whincroft Road. No further details have been released at this time though it is believed the man had a heart attack or blacked out at the steering wheel of his Citroen Picasso before driving through the front of 13 Whincroft Road.〔http://www.u.tv/News/Car-crashes-into-house-in-Belfast/ca072be1-fd5f-4a4c-8e3b-5f5827cf6529〕
