CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: BALLYCUNPAN or BALLYHUNPAN in Ballyhampton

CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: BALLYCUNPAN or BALLYHUNPAN

What is recorded here

Ballycunpan or Ballyhunpan in Ballyhampton held a church and graveyard during the medieval period, though the exact century remains uncertain. The name itself resists clarity, splitting into two pronunciations that suggest oral history changed before written record caught up. People buried there, prayed there and forgot the precise dates, leaving behind a place whose identity still wavers between two spellings.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: BALLYCUNPAN or BALLYHUNPAN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
