What is recorded here
Beneath the Kilcoobin grass, a man-made passage still cuts through the earth where a church and graveyard once stood. The exact age escapes certainty, but the shape remains clear: digging, building, burying, forgetting. That is the order of human places. The chamber may have hidden bodies, tools or prayers from seasons when the surface changed hands. Whatever it contained, the earth kept it clean and the memory let it go.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD (site of); Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
