What is recorded here

Kilpatrick in Drumadoon is a lost church, graveyard and underground passage hidden beneath a green enclosure. The stones may mark a Christian worship place, yet the passage and circular bank suggest older hands shaped the land before crosses appeared. People may have walked downward into darkness or buried their dead beside water that still moves through the hill.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; ENCLOSURE (rath?) and Man-made underground passage: KILPATRICK. 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.
