What is recorded here
Kiltoorish, or Cill-Turuis, marks the vanished Church of the Pilgrimage in Ballybraddin, County Antrim. The name suggests a place where weary travellers once knelt, sought mercy, or buried what they could no longer carry. The graveyard remains the visible edge of that older devotion, holding the dead and the memory of the living who tended them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD (site of): KILTOORISH or CILL-TURUIS or CHURCH OF THE PILGRIMAGE. 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.
