What is recorded here
Nobody knows which abbey or graveyard this is. The official point sits at the centre of a lost shape, not a visible building. Millisle may have swallowed a church and its dead, leaving only a coordinate behind.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BURIAL GROUND & possible ABBEY (unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
