What is recorded here
Holywell Church in Lackagh, County Tyrone, holds a carved stone and graveyard marked for protection since the early Christian and medieval periods. The site has watched generations bury their dead beside water so old it became holy in the local tongue. People may have prayed at that well before the church rose, trusting the water to clean what confession could not reach.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; CARVED STONE: HOLYWELL CHURCH. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; POST-MED; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
