CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & HOLY WELL (unlocated): ST.RONAN FINN in Kilminioge

CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & HOLY WELL (unlocated): ST.RONAN FINN

What is recorded here

Kilminioge in County Down, Ireland, held a church, graveyard and holy well dedicated to St Ronan Finn, though the exact location is no longer recorded. The site belongs to early Christian times when a small community gathered to worship, bury its dead and draw water believed to carry grace. That much is certain even if the building has vanished. Whether the well still weeps beneath grass or the graveyard surrendered entirely to field and forgetting, the name remains as a marker of forgotten devotion.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, GRAVEYARD & HOLY WELL (unlocated): ST.RONAN FINN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. 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.
