What is recorded here
Situated on rising ground with motte (WM013-037---) 80m to W. In the centre of Balreagh graveyard (WM013-038001-) are the grass cover remains of a rectangular church (approx. dims. 8m N-S; 17.3m E-W) of which only the lower three courses survive upstanding. The remains of a doorway were visible in the NE end of the S wall, another doorway at the W end of the N wall and a possible window ope in the E wall. Today none of these features are visible as the walls are now covered in grass and other vegetation. Aerial photographs taken between 1968 and 1970 show cultivation earthworks between the motte and the graveyard (CUCAP AVO065-6; CUCAP BDV083-4).
