What is recorded here
Cappagh Church and graveyard stand in Dunmullan as a medieval Christian place, old enough that its exact founding has blurred into legend. The stones may have marked a small worship community long before written records reached them, a quiet anchor in County Tyrone where prayer and burial shared one ground. Its scheduled status acknowledges that the site still holds value, even when the full human story has faded. What remains is a church and graveyard, named and protected, with the kind of age that makes invention unnecessary.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: CAPPAGH CHURCH or OLD CHURCH. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval Christian church and graveyard; significant as a Scheduled Ancient Monument indicating archaeological and historical importance.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
