What is recorded here
Killywoolpa stands in Ballykinler Lower as a lost church and graveyard, its exact age still uncertain but its purpose plain. The site marks a place where people gathered to pray and laid their dead to rest before the building vanished from common memory. What remains is a ghost of routine: hymns, burial, grief and the continued belief that the area was sacred.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of): KILLYWOOLPA. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
