What is recorded here
Killelagh Church stands in Tirnony, County Derry, holding a graveyard and two bullauns that have watched the land since medieval times. The stones mark a place where people worshipped, buried their dead, and shaped rock into cups for rituals or drink. What is certain is that the church, graveyard, and bullauns still belong to the same local landscape, and what is missing is the ordinary life that filled them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; 2 BULLAUNS: KILLELAGH CHURCH. Recorded period: POST-MED; MED/L.MED. 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.
