What is recorded here

Medieval Ballintogher kept a church and graveyard at Balibren, where worship and death shared one small address. People may have prayed at dawn, buried their dead at dusk, and walked home through soil that remembered both. The site still belongs to County Down, unchanged in kind even when its buildings no longer stand.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of): BALIBREN. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
