What is recorded here
Skerry East in County Antrim, Ireland, holds a post-medieval church and graveyard where the living once measured time against the dead. The stones still belong to that repeated human ritual, even when the building no longer stands complete. A person may have knelt there, named a child, or carried someone home after a storm, making the ordinary sacred through return.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
