What is recorded here
St. John's in Ballyharry, County Antrim, dates to the C16TH and MED/L.MED, preserving a church and graveyard where local people likely worshipped and buried their dead. The stones may have marked births, deaths and seasonal rituals, while the graveyard held generations whose names no longer appear in surviving accounts. Its continued existence suggests the community valued memory, faith and identity enough to keep returning across centuries.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C16th CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: ST. JOHN'S. Recorded period: C16TH; MED/L.MED. 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.
