What is recorded here

Ballymaghan holds a medieval church, graveyard and coffin lids, marking an old place where people worshipped, buried their dead and crafted the boxes that carried them. The graveyard may have crowded the land, forcing reusable lids instead of whole new chests each time. That repetition turns the site into a working neighbourhood rather than a distant monument, where death came often enough to demand practical craft.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & COFFIN LIDS. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
