What is recorded here
Ballynekelly holds a church, graveyard and cross in County Armagh, yet the exact age and identity remain uncertain. The names Derrybrochise and O Karegan suggest a place shaped by several hands before anyone wrote it down. A cross still standing beside buried people means someone believed death was not the final word. That much certainty is enough to make the ground feel watched.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & CROSS: BALLYNEKELLY or DERRYBROCHISE ALIAS O KAREGAN. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; UNCERTAIN. 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.
