What is recorded here
Kilwee, Kilemna and Kilmean mark the lost church, graveyard and bullaun beneath Dunmurry, preserving a place where early Christian and medieval people gathered before the buildings vanished. The names still point to a sacred centre, while the missing structure invites imagination about prayers, burials and the daily life that filled the area. What is certain is that the site existed; what is lost is the shape of the people who made it meaningful.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & BULLAUN (site of): KILWEE, KILEMNA, KILMEAN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. 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.
