What is recorded here
Killeena stands in Drumeeny as a medieval church, graveyard, font and cross-carved stone, saving the shape of local worship long after its builders died. The cross-cut stone suggests craft, faith and identity rather than passive decoration. People may have gathered there to pray, bury their dead and mark the boundary between the living and remembered worlds.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Church; graveyard; font and cross-carved stone: KILLEENA or KILLE ENAN or DRUMMAN INDICH. Recorded period: MED/L.MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval Christian church and burial site, likely 10th to 14th century. Its significance lies in the presence of a carved cross stone and font, indicating early ecclesiastical activity in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
