What is recorded here

Diskert or Druim Breccain in Cargan, County Antrim, holds a medieval church, graveyard, holy well and rectangular enclosure, though the exact age of each part remains uncertain. The names suggest a crowded Christian landscape where worship, burial and water joined in one small district. A scheduled monument now protects the remains, while the missing dates keep the place half-hidden beneath its own grandeur.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; HOLY WELL; RECTANGULAR ENCLOSURE: DISKERT or DRUIM BRECCAIN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; MEDIEVAL. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
