What is recorded here
St. Patrick's Chapel or Killybanway hides in Creevamoy, County Antrim, wearing many shapes at once: a church, a graveyard, an enclosure, an underground passage and a mill race. The timing remains uncertain, but the list suggests a busy place where worship, death, water and secret movement all shared one small area. Perhaps people prayed above, buried below, forced water to work and kept a hidden way for running when danger came. The names still sound like a life led in layers rather than a single event.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; ENCLOSURE; Man-made underground passage; MILL RACE: ST. PATRICK'S CHAPEL or KILLYBANWAY (unlocated). Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; 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.
