What is recorded here

Caepa de Elder, a lost church and graveyard in Ballymacilhoyle, hints at worship and death before human memory. The name suggests Elder may have been a person, a family, or even a kind of tree, yet no clear record remains. What is certain is that the site existed, that people buried their dead there, and that the church disappeared. The ground still holds the shape of that loss, waiting for someone to listen.

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