What is recorded here
Desertcreat holds a church, graveyard and cross-carved stone from the medieval era. The cross still stands beside buried lives, marking a place where worship and death shared one ground. Tyrone’s soil kept this unusual assembly intact, preserving both faith and farewell in a single small landscape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & CROSS-CARVED STONE. Recorded period: POST-MED; MED/L.MED. 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.
